AB veeam-aiops
Use this skill whenever the user needs to operate Veeam Backup & Replication — a one-shot health overview, read-only diagnostics / RCA (triage failed backup-job sessions and flag repositories low on space), list/inspect/start/stop/retry backup jobs, enable/disable jobs, list restore points and start a VM restore, list backup repositories with capacity, list stored backups and their objects, inventory backup infrastructure (managed servers, proxies), and poll/stop async sessions for job/restore progress. Always use this skill for "list veeam jobs", "run veeam backup", "start veeam job", "veeam restore", "veeam repository", "veeam backup status", or "veeam session" when the context is explicitly Veeam / Veeam Backup & Replication / VBR. Do NOT use when the target is not Veeam Backup & Replication (other backup products, hypervisor lifecycle, or cloud providers are out of scope). Common Veeam B&R operations with a built-in governance harness (audit, policy, token budget, undo, risk-tiers).

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 asks for more than the task needs: broad tool access, credential environment variables, binaries. Every extra permission widens the damage from a mistake or a compromise.
Narrow allowed-tools and the variable list to the minimum; replace binaries with readable sources or scripts.
How to improve
- 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.

Process rating: all ten parameters 72/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 30Running it twice. 5 mutating operations with no state check
- 100Tools and files. Tools declared in frontmatter
- 100Steps. 29 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Failures and branches. 3 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 3385 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 12 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
- low The response is described with custom markup (9 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.
