From the files and frontmatter at commit be2a406. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.

Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit be2a406 · 3 Nov 2026

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit be2a406 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 "-21risk-automation" has a hyphen at the start or end. Names may use only a–z, 0–9 and single hyphens. N3

    Fix: Use name: 21risk-automation 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

    Fields outside the spec: requires. 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.

  • Note

    The description doesn't say when to use the skill. D6

    Fix: Add a sentence such as "Use when …" naming the requests or files that should trigger it.

  • 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

    Claude Code ignores fields it doesn't know: requires. O1

    Fix: Check the spelling against Claude Code's field list, or delete them.

• 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 "-21risk-automation" has a hyphen at the start or end. Anthropic's validator allows only lowercase letters, digits and hyphens. N3

    Fix: Use name: 21risk-automation and rename the folder to match.

  • Error

    Upload and packaging fail on fields outside the spec: requires. O1

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

• 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 "-21risk-automation" has a hyphen at the start or end. OpenAI's upload follows the spec, which allows only a–z, 0–9 and hyphens. N3

    Fix: Use name: 21risk-automation and rename the folder to match.

  • Warning

    Fields outside the spec: requires. 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.

• 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 "-21risk-automation" has a hyphen at the start or end. VS Code uses the folder name whenever the name differs from it. N3

    Fix: Use name: 21risk-automation and rename the folder to match.

  • Note

    VS Code ignores fields it doesn't support: requires. O1

    Fix: Delete them unless another agent you target reads them.
