BF Crypto Audit

Weak cryptography detector (OWASP A02:2021 — Cryptographic Failures). Scans Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Java, and PHP source code for 10 classes of insecure cryptography — MD5/SHA1 password hashing, PRNG for security-sensitive values, hardcoded IVs, ECB mode, DES/RC4/Blowfish, RSA key size under 2048 bits, weak JWT secrets, bcrypt rounds too low, TLS 1.0/1.1 acceptance, and hardcoded cryptographic keys in source. Zero external dependencies. CI fail-gate included.

What is at stake

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

Secrets in code 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 files contain someone else's key or token. If it is live, your agent will call third-party services under a stranger's identity; if it was revoked, the skill's scripts simply fail. Such a key often arrives with the author's whole workspace, personal data included.

For the author

The key is visible to everyone who downloaded the skill and has likely been copied by catalog-scanning bots already. Revoke it now, check bills and access logs, then reissue.

How to improve

  1. Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
  2. The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
  3. 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.

  • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
  • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
  • 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (Crypto Audit) differs from the folder (phy-crypto-audit)
  • 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 7135 tokens
  • 100Steps. 15 steps

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.

Quality signals

  • +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
  • +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
  • +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +3Description length 474: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 19 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 15 items

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 45.
