BF meeting-scribe
Turn a meeting transcript into structured meeting memory — a dated meeting note, one appended mention line per entity the transcript names (person, organization, or meeting you already track), and a recap email drafted for review but never sent. Matches names against your own entity files first; an unmatched name becomes a proposed new entity instead of a guess, and an ambiguous name lists every candidate and writes nothing. Inspired by USV's Meeting Scribe agent (https://blog.usv.com/meet-the-agents), rebuilt generic for any team that keeps a folder of who and what it tracks. Use whenever the user says "run meeting scribe", "turn this transcript into meeting memory", "log this meeting against my contacts", "who did we mention on this call", "draft a recap from this transcript", "/meeting-scribe", or points at a transcript plus a folder of people/company files.

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 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.
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.
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.
