We checked every text file in this skill, at commit bfa0a6e 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

Format check

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 specPasses with warnings

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

    • Warning

      Fields outside the spec: argument-hint (read by Claude Code and VS Code). Uploads to the Claude apps and API, and the spec's validator, reject the file; most agents ignore these fields. O1

      Fix: Delete them for a portable skill, or keep them if you only target the agents that read them.

    • Warning

      The body is 935 lines; the spec suggests under 500. B1

      Fix: Move detailed sections into reference files and link to them from SKILL.md.

    • Warning

      The body is about 12,658 tokens (approx.); the spec suggests under 5,000. B2

      Fix: Move detail into reference files that the agent reads only when needed.

    • Warning

      Paths that may not work once the skill is installed: line 10: ../shared-references/reviewer-backends.md (outside the skill folder), line 139: ../shared-references/integration-contract.md (outside the skill folder), line 347: ../shared-references/integration-contract.md#2-canonical-helper--one-implementation-not-copy-pasted (outside the skill folder), line 611: ../integrity-forensics/SKILL.md (outside the skill folder), line 777: ../shared-references/integration-contract.md (outside the skill folder) and 3 more. B6

      Fix: Use forward-slash paths relative to SKILL.md, and copy shared files into the skill.

    • 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.

    • Note

      Line 644 has dated wording ("Since 2026"), which goes stale. B8

      Fix: Describe the current way, and move old patterns into their own clearly marked section.

  • Claude CodePasses with warnings

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

    • Warning

      Paths that may not work once the skill is installed: line 10: ../shared-references/reviewer-backends.md (outside the skill folder), line 139: ../shared-references/integration-contract.md (outside the skill folder), line 347: ../shared-references/integration-contract.md#2-canonical-helper--one-implementation-not-copy-pasted (outside the skill folder), line 611: ../integrity-forensics/SKILL.md (outside the skill folder), line 777: ../shared-references/integration-contract.md (outside the skill folder) and 3 more. B6

      Fix: Use forward-slash paths relative to SKILL.md, and copy shared files into the skill.

    • Note

      The body is 935 lines; the spec suggests under 500. Claude Code's docs say the same. B1

      Fix: Move detailed sections into reference files and link to them from SKILL.md.

    • Note

      The body is about 12,658 tokens (approx.); the spec suggests under 5,000. After compaction Claude Code keeps only the first 5,000 tokens of a skill. B2

      Fix: Move detail into reference files that the agent reads only when needed.

    • Note

      Line 644 has dated wording ("Since 2026"), which goes stale. B8

      Fix: Describe the current way, and move old patterns into their own clearly marked section.

  • 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

      Upload and packaging fail on fields outside the spec: argument-hint. O1

      Fix: Delete them, and keep your own data under metadata as text values.

    • Warning

      Paths that may not work once the skill is installed: line 10: ../shared-references/reviewer-backends.md (outside the skill folder), line 139: ../shared-references/integration-contract.md (outside the skill folder), line 347: ../shared-references/integration-contract.md#2-canonical-helper--one-implementation-not-copy-pasted (outside the skill folder), line 611: ../integrity-forensics/SKILL.md (outside the skill folder), line 777: ../shared-references/integration-contract.md (outside the skill folder) and 3 more. B6

      Fix: Use forward-slash paths relative to SKILL.md, and copy shared files into the skill.

    • Note

      The description is 240 characters. The claude.ai Help Center says 200 at most, though Anthropic's API docs and validator allow 1,024. D4

      Fix: If the claude.ai upload refuses it, trim the description to 200 characters.

    • Note

      The body is 935 lines; the spec suggests under 500. Anthropic's guidance says the same. B1

      Fix: Move detailed sections into reference files and link to them from SKILL.md.

    • Note

      The body is about 12,658 tokens (approx.); the spec suggests under 5,000. Anthropic's guidance says the same. B2

      Fix: Move detail into reference files that the agent reads only when needed.

    • Note

      Line 213 names an MCP tool as mcp__codex__codex. For the Claude apps and API, Anthropic's guidance is Server:tool, such as GitHub:create_issue. B7

      Fix: Write it as codex:codex, using the server's own name.

    • Note

      Line 644 has dated wording ("Since 2026"), which goes stale. B8

      Fix: Describe the current way, and move old patterns into their own clearly marked section.

  • OpenAI (Codex & API)Passes with warnings

    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.

    • Warning

      Fields outside the spec: argument-hint. Codex ignores them; OpenAI doesn't say whether its upload accepts them. O1

      Fix: Delete them, or move your own data under metadata as text values.

    • Warning

      Paths that may not work once the skill is installed: line 10: ../shared-references/reviewer-backends.md (outside the skill folder), line 139: ../shared-references/integration-contract.md (outside the skill folder), line 347: ../shared-references/integration-contract.md#2-canonical-helper--one-implementation-not-copy-pasted (outside the skill folder), line 611: ../integrity-forensics/SKILL.md (outside the skill folder), line 777: ../shared-references/integration-contract.md (outside the skill folder) and 3 more. B6

      Fix: Use forward-slash paths relative to SKILL.md, and copy shared files into the skill.

  • 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

      Paths that may not work once the skill is installed: line 10: ../shared-references/reviewer-backends.md (outside the skill folder), line 139: ../shared-references/integration-contract.md (outside the skill folder), line 347: ../shared-references/integration-contract.md#2-canonical-helper--one-implementation-not-copy-pasted (outside the skill folder), line 611: ../integrity-forensics/SKILL.md (outside the skill folder), line 777: ../shared-references/integration-contract.md (outside the skill folder) and 3 more. B6

      Fix: Use forward-slash paths relative to SKILL.md, and copy shared files into the skill.
