BC rem
Manages macOS Reminders from the terminal using the rem CLI. Creates, lists, updates, completes, deletes, searches, and exports reminders and lists. Supports natural language due dates, filtering, import/export, and multiple output formats. Use when the user wants to interact with Apple Reminders via command line, automate reminder workflows, or build scripts around macOS Reminders.

As a process C 53/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: inputs and preconditions, failures and branches, consistency
What is at stake
The skill contains fragments that, in the wrong hands, cost money or data. Below: what the installer risks and what the author should do.
The skill contains commands that delete files, rewrite disks or execute code fetched from the network. The agent may run them without asking if it believes the instructions require it.
Replace destructive commands with safe equivalents that ask for confirmation, scope them to one folder, and stop piping curl into a shell: pin a version and a checksum.
How to improve
- Address the high-severity findings: each costs 18 safety points. If one is a false positive, add the rule id to guard.allow in spec.yaml.
- 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

Process rating: all ten parameters 53/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 10 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (rem) differs from the folder (rem-cli)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Steps. 7 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1403 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.
