Knowledge base from NIST Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) v1.1 (SP 800-218). Use for secure software development practices, SDLC security integration, software supply chain security, vulnerability disclosure, SBOM, threat modelling, secure coding, build hardening, EO 14028 compliance. Covers the four SSDF practice groups (PO, PS, PW, RV) only; does not cover NIST CSF, SP 800-53 controls, or cloud-specific security frameworks in depth.

As a process B 68/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: result and completion, failures and branches, running it twice
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.

Against the Agent Skills spec
✓ No remarks against the Agent Skills spec
Process rating: all ten parameters 68/100
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 3 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 85Steps. 58 steps, 1 vague phrases
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2148 tokens
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
- +4No input/output examples
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 450: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 10 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 58 items
- +1License stated
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 81.
