SKILLEMALL.ai

CC tao-data-io

The data-mover for TAO jobs — decides the storage tier (A pre-positioned mount with zero fetch / B volume-from-S3 / C ephemeral in-compute fetch), stages inputs (bulk + annotation-selective + archive extract + HF/NGC PTM), maps credentials to env, routes outputs 3-way with upload-excludes, and runs the compute-frame verify gate. A support skill other platform skills (docker, kubernetes, slurm, brev, virtualenv) call to get data to and from the compute container without the TAO SDK. Trigger phrases include "stage inputs", "mount the dataset", "upload TAO results", "download only referenced files", "resolve results_dir", "verify the container can read the data".

What is at stake

Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.

Broad scope medium severity

Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.

If you install

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.

For the author

Narrow allowed-tools and the variable list to the minimum; replace binaries with readable sources or scripts.

How to improve

  1. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
For the model run — optional
  • 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.

Against the Agent Skills spec

  • warning missing-ref reference to a missing file: references/selective_download.py
  • warning missing-ref reference to a missing file: references/tests/
  • note edit-residue the text marks something as outdated (lines 33): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions

Process rating: all ten parameters 55/100

  • 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
  • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
  • low The response is described with custom markup (3 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.
