BF generate-ppmplugin-manifest
Validate, reconcile to the chosen target(s), and stage the `manifest.json` for a `.ppmplugin` bundle. In the normal flow the committed `./manifest.json` already exists (authored by /generate-native-extension), so this stage reads it, runs the plugin's upload-compatibility checks locally as a pre-flight gate (name regex, canonical prefix, known incompatible names, method and identifier shapes), reconciles `entrypoints` down to the platform(s) you ship, and writes the gitignored staged copy `ppmplugin/staging/manifest.json` that /assemble-ppmplugin zips. If no committed manifest exists (a hand-authored module) it falls back to deriving every field from the class name and Android module source, writing both the committed file and the staged copy. No toolchain — pure read, validate, write. Target-aware. Run after the native module exists, before the build skills.

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 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.

- 100Failures and branches. 3 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low The response is described with custom markup (15 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.
