Agent Trust Gate for tool calls. Agents should not act without a gate and evidence. attest_action looks the action up in a system of record - npm, PyPI, CourtListener, SEC EDGAR, the U.S. Code, or a policy corpus you supply - and blocks the call if the record isn't there. Each decision is a reconstructable, revocable Ed25519-signed workpaper (Claim Credential), not a certificate of truth. Also extracts and verifies claims and scans documents. Connects over MCP Streamable HTTP, so there is nothing to install.

What is at stake

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

Exfiltration 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 instructions or scripts send data out: environment variables, keys, file contents, chat history. You may never notice, because the agent performs the upload as "part of the task".

For the author

If the upload is not needed for the task, remove it: catalogs flag such skills and delist them. If it is needed, name the destination explicitly, say what leaves the machine, and give the user a switch.

How to improve

  1. The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
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 body-long SKILL.md body ≈ 8033 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/
  • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "homepage"

Process rating: all ten parameters 63/100

  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 30Running it twice. 20 mutating operations with no state check
  • 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (veritier) differs from the folder (veritier-fact-checking)
  • 40Execution cost. Instruction body is 8033 tokens: crowds the task out of the window
  • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
  • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
  • 85Steps. 44 steps, 1 vague phrases
  • 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
  • 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
  • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
  • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
  • low 11 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill

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)
  • -229 emoji in the instructions: noise for the model
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +3Description length 513: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 40 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 44 items
  • +3Output format is stated explicitly
  • +4Has examples (16 code blocks)
  • +1License stated

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 75.

External checks

ClawHub: suspicious
The skill mostly matches its trust-gate and verification purpose, but it needs review because some bundled examples undercut the stated security boundary for API keys and local webhook exposure.
