DC subwave-deploy
Set up, deploy, or update SUB/WAVE (a personal internet radio station). On a fresh checkout, runs scripts/setup.sh, prompts for Navidrome + Ollama credentials, brings the stack up, and generates jingles. On an already-running stack, pulls the latest, rebuilds only the Docker services whose code actually changed, recreates them, and verifies the stream is on-air. Use this skill any time the user wants to install, set up, bootstrap, deploy, update, sync, redeploy, refresh, restart, or "pull and restart" SUB/WAVE — including phrases like "set up subwave", "install subwave", "first boot", "bootstrap the radio", "pull subwave", "update the radio", "deploy subwave", "rebuild controller", "restart sub-wave", "redeploy after pull", "git pull and restart as needed", "check if the stream is healthy", or simply "deploy" / "install" / "set up" while in the subwave repo. Trigger proactively whenever the user is working in the subwave repo and mentions setting up, installing, deploying, updating, rebuilding, restarting, or checking the running stack — even if they don't name the skill. Free to pull, rebuild, recreate, render Icecast config, generate jingles, and run health probes; confirm before destructive ops like wiping `state/`, removing volumes, full `down -v`, or overwriting an existing controller/.env that already has the operator's Navidrome password.

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 tells the agent to hide things from you: not to show errors, not to mention actions, to report differently from what was done. You lose the ability to see what the agent really did.
Transparency beats a smooth answer. If the goal is to hide technical noise, ask the agent to "summarise briefly", not to "not mention".
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.
- Shorten the description to 1024 characters.
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- 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.

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.
