SKILLEMALL.ai

CD tao-setup

One-time session setup and orchestration map for the TAO skill bank. Run this first when the TAO skills were installed individually (e.g. from a public skills catalog) so the session gets the cross-skill discovery flow, credential checks, and host preflight that the bundled plugin hook would otherwise inject automatically. Trigger phrases include "set up TAO skills", "TAO session setup", "prepare TAO environment", "TAO getting started".

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.

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.
