BF open-persona
Meta-skill for building and managing agent persona skill packs (instruction-only; no bundled installer or auto-downloaded binaries). Credentials are never written into generated packs by the framework; publish/ACN/register require explicit user CLI. Use when the user wants to create a new agent persona, install/manage existing personas, or publish persona skill packs to OpenPersona.
As a process F 57/100 · Will not run — References files that are not bundled: scripts/state-sync.js, scripts/economy-hook.js
What is at stake
Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The skill asks for more than the task needs: broad tool access, credential environment variables, binaries. Every extra permission widens the damage from a mistake or a compromise.
Narrow allowed-tools and the variable list to the minimum; replace binaries with readable sources or scripts.
How to improve
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 57/100
- 0Tools and files. 2 referenced file(s) missing: scripts/state-sync.js, scripts/economy-hook.js
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 40Execution cost. Instruction body is 9744 tokens: crowds the task out of the window
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 90 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 14 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
- low The response is described with custom markup (39 tags): a typed call is more reliable
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
