What is at stake

The skill contains fragments that, in the wrong hands, cost money or data. Below: what the installer risks and what the author should do.

Exfiltration

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.

Instruction override 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 text contains phrases like "ignore previous instructions" or "you are now…". That is an attempt to hijack the agent: it may break your rules, the system limits or company policy.

For the author

An honest skill does not need them: state the role and the rules directly without overriding other instructions. Otherwise catalog scanners and corporate filters will block the listing.

Dangerous commands 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 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.

For the author

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

Address the high-severity findings: each costs 18 safety points. If one is a false positive, add the rule id to guard.allow in spec.yaml.
Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.

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 description-no-when description does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when")

Process rating: all ten parameters 48/100

0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web) that frontmatter does not declare
100Steps. 73 steps
100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2458 tokens
100Running it twice. No mutating operations
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

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
-216 emoji in the instructions: noise for the model
-34 of 5 scripts are never mentioned in SKILL.md
+1No license
+2Single-language instructions
+3Description length 417: enough signal without eating the budget
+4Structure: 32 headings
+3Step-by-step instructions: 73 items
+4Has examples (13 code blocks)

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 67.

External checks

ClawHub: suspicious

This appears to be a real prompt-security scanner, but it makes default outbound network calls and reports hashed detection metadata despite mixed offline and optional-API claims.
