BF warp-compile-time-optimizer
Use when compile time or startup time is the problem in code that uses Warp: a request to improve, optimize, or cut compile times; an app that is slow to start or stalls at the first wp.launch; seconds of compiling before real work begins; JIT modules recompiling on every run or every CI job. Only applies when the code being optimized uses Warp kernels. Not for steady-state kernel runtime, memory, correctness, building Warp itself from source, or nvcc/C++ build times.

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 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.

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.
