Pattern check

Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit 813ec11 · 3 Nov 2026

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 813ec11 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 specFails

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

    • Error

      The name "gentle-ai-branch-pr" doesn't match its folder "branch-pr". The spec requires them to match. N4

      Fix: Set name: branch-pr, or rename the folder to gentle-ai-branch-pr.

    • 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.

  • 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 "gentle-ai-branch-pr" doesn't match its folder "branch-pr". Claude Code shows the skill as /gentle-ai-branch-pr, and the folder name also invokes it. N4

      Fix: Set name: branch-pr, or rename the folder to gentle-ai-branch-pr.

  • 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 "gentle-ai-branch-pr" doesn't match its folder "branch-pr". claude.ai refuses an upload whose folder name doesn't match the skill name. N4

      Fix: Set name: branch-pr, or rename the folder to gentle-ai-branch-pr.

  • 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

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

      Fix: Set name: branch-pr, or rename the folder to gentle-ai-branch-pr.

  • 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 "gentle-ai-branch-pr" doesn't match its folder "branch-pr". VS Code uses the folder name, branch-pr, instead. N4

      Fix: Set name: branch-pr, or rename the folder to gentle-ai-branch-pr.
