BF generate-ppmplugin
Build and verify a third-party `.ppmplugin` end to end. This recommended entry point detects Android and iOS source, confirms target platforms, then invokes the manifest, platform build, assemble, and audit stages in order. Advanced users can invoke a stage directly for focused reruns or debugging. Produces a native-only bundle (`manifest.json` plus an Android DEX and/or iOS framework) and stops on any failed stage rather than emitting an unverified partial build. Run after the native module exists.

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.

- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- low The response is described with custom markup (10 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.
