BB alibabacloud-ecs-diagnose
Comprehensive Alibaba Cloud ECS instance diagnostics skill. Performs systematic troubleshooting including cloud platform status checks and GuestOS internal diagnostics via Cloud Assistant. Use when users report server connectivity issues, SSH timeout, instance lag, website unavailability, disk full, CPU/memory alerts, system event notifications, or abnormal instance status. Triggers: "ECS", "instance", "server", "cannot connect", "SSH", "timeout", "slow", "disk full", "network", "CPU high", "memory high", "status check", "system event", "diagnose", "troubleshoot", "disk performance", "disk IO slow", "IOPS", "IO latency"

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 contains commands that delete files, rewrite disks or execute code fetched from the network. The agent may run them without asking if it believes the instructions require it.
Replace destructive commands with safe equivalents that ask for confirmation, scope them to one folder, and stop piping curl into a shell: pin a version and a checksum.
How to improve
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- 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-longSKILL.md body ≈ 5957 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/
Process rating: all ten parameters 76/100
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5957 tokens
- 85Steps. 71 steps, 3 vague phrases
- 100Result and completion. Output format and completion criterion are stated
- 100Failures and branches. 4 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 14 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
- low The response is described with custom markup (4 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.
