hive.context-preservation

From the files and frontmatter at commit 4ede549. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.

Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit 4ede549 · 3 Nov 2026

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 4ede549 on 3 Nov 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.

How the check worksReport an incorrect finding

Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.

• Agent Skills specFails

  The open format from agentskills.io, held to the strictest version of each rule among the agents we check.

  • Error

    The name "hive.context-preservation" doesn't match its folder "context-preservation". The spec requires them to match. N4

    Fix: Set name: context-preservation, or rename the folder to hive-context-preservation.

  • Error

    The name "hive.context-preservation" contains ".". Only a–z, 0–9 and hyphens are allowed. N7

    Fix: Use name: hive-context-preservation and rename the folder to match.

  • Warning

    The frontmatter uses [ ] or { } values. Most agents accept them, but the spec's validator (skills-ref) rejects the file. F4

    Fix: Write lists as "- item" lines and maps as indented key: value lines, without anchors or tags.

  • Warning

    metadata values should be text; visibility (a list) is not. The spec's validator turns them into text; other readers may not. O4

    Fix: Quote each value, for example version: "1.0".

  • Note

    There is no license field, so readers can't tell whether they may reuse the skill. O2

    Fix: Add license: with an SPDX name such as MIT or Apache-2.0, or the name of a bundled licence file.

• Claude CodePasses

  Claude Code reads its own extra fields, ignores unknown ones, and still loads a skill whose frontmatter is broken, without its fields.

  • Note

    The name "hive.context-preservation" doesn't match its folder "context-preservation". Claude Code shows the skill as /hive.context-preservation, and the folder name also invokes it. N4

    Fix: Set name: context-preservation, or rename the folder to hive-context-preservation.

• Claude apps & API uploadFails

  Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.

  • Error

    The name "hive.context-preservation" doesn't match its folder "context-preservation". claude.ai refuses an upload whose folder name doesn't match the skill name. N4

    Fix: Set name: context-preservation, or rename the folder to hive-context-preservation.

  • Error

    The name "hive.context-preservation" contains ".". Only a–z, 0–9 and hyphens are allowed. N7

    Fix: Use name: hive-context-preservation and rename the folder to match.

  • Note

    metadata values should be text; visibility (a list) is not. The spec defines metadata as text to text. O4

    Fix: Quote each value, for example version: "1.0".

• OpenAI (Codex & API)Fails

  Codex finds SKILL.md by its exact name and needs a description; OpenAI's Skills API checks the frontmatter against the spec and caps uploads.

  • Error

    The name "hive.context-preservation" contains ".". Only a–z, 0–9 and hyphens are allowed. N7

    Fix: Use name: hive-context-preservation and rename the folder to match.

  • Warning

    The name "hive.context-preservation" doesn't match its folder "context-preservation". OpenAI's own upload example uses a differently named folder, but the spec it follows says they must match. N4

    Fix: Set name: context-preservation, or rename the folder to hive-context-preservation.

  • Warning

    metadata values should be text; visibility (a list) is not. OpenAI's upload follows the spec's text-to-text rule. O4

    Fix: Quote each value, for example version: "1.0".

• VS Code & CopilotPasses with warnings

  VS Code reads skills one folder below .github/skills, .claude/skills or .agents/skills and falls back to the folder name when the name is missing or differs; GitHub's Copilot docs require the exact name SKILL.md.

  • Warning

    The name "hive.context-preservation" doesn't match its folder "context-preservation". VS Code uses the folder name, context-preservation, instead. N4

    Fix: Set name: context-preservation, or rename the folder to hive-context-preservation.

  • Warning

    The name "hive.context-preservation" contains ".". VS Code's docs say such a name fails to load; VS Code falls back to the folder name. N7

    Fix: Use name: hive-context-preservation and rename the folder to match.
