CD performing-cve-prioritization-with-kev-catalog
Fetch and parse the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, enrich it with EPSS scores and CVSS metrics, and build a multi-factor prioritization engine and report that ranks CVE remediation by real-world exploitation evidence and BOD 22-01 deadlines. Use when triaging a vulnerability backlog, deciding patch order across many CVEs, or building an automated KEV+EPSS prioritization workflow.

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.

Process rating: all ten parameters 49/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 85Steps. 33 steps, 1 vague phrases
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2347 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
- -43 reference files, but SKILL.md never points to them: the model will not open them
- -32 of 2 scripts are never mentioned in SKILL.md
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 403: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 17 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 33 items
- +4Has examples (4 code blocks)
