AB fabric-cli
Use this skill for Fabric.so CLI workflows with the `fabric` terminal command: diagnose/install/login, search or browse a Fabric library, save notes/links/files, create folders, ask the Fabric AI assistant, manage tasks/workspaces, generate shell completion, check subscription usage, produce JSON output, and use Fabric as persistent agent memory. Do not use for Microsoft Fabric/Azure/Power BI `fab`, Daniel Miessler's Fabric framework, Python Fabric SSH, Fabric.js, or textile/fashion fabric.

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
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- medium 9 test cases, all positive: not one "should refuse" or "should ask first"
- low No test case covers injection arriving through data
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.
