As a process A 91/100 · Runs to the end — weak spots: execution cost
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
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
- 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
description-no-whendescription does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when") - warning
body-longSKILL.md body ≈ 15918 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/ - note
frontmatter-keyunknown frontmatter key "preamble-tier" - note
frontmatter-keyunknown frontmatter key "triggers"
Process rating: all ten parameters 91/100
- 40Execution cost. Instruction body is 15918 tokens: crowds the task out of the window
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 100Tools and files. Tools declared in frontmatter
- 100Steps. 138 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Failures and branches. 12 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 40 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
- low The response is described with custom markup (13 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.
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)
- -5TODO / placeholder text left in the skill
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 171: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 49 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 138 items
- +3Output format is stated explicitly
- +4Has examples (23 code blocks)
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 58.
In the sandbox The scripts kept to themselves
The skill's scripts were run in a throwaway machine: no network, fake keys in the home directory, a tracer watching. We wrote down what they did. Reaching for the network or for secrets caps the technical grade at C; a quiet run adds no points.
Запущено 5 скриптов; каждому дали двадцать секунд, поддельный домашний каталог с ключами и сеть, в которой ничего нет.
