anthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsOfficial collectionOther
deal-signals is a skill in anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins, last changed 21 Oct 2026. It is instructions only: no scripts, no named hosts and no pre-approved tools.
Proactive watch over your book - deals gone quiet, close dates slipping into view, champion changes, renewal windows opening, competitor mentions - surfaced as a short alert digest you can act on. Use when the user asks "what changed in my book", "any deals gone quiet", "what should I be worried about today", "run my deal signals", or sets it up as a recurring scheduled task.

From the files and frontmatter at commit 2574e29. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.
Instructions only
It is instructions only: no scripts, no named hosts and no pre-approved tools.
Pattern check
Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit 2574e29 · 1 Nov 2026
We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 2574e29 on 1 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.
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
The open format from agentskills.io, held to what the strictest agents enforce, so one folder loads everywhere.
- 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
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 description is written in the first or second person ("you can"). Anthropic recommends the third person, such as "Processes Excel files". D7
Fix: Rewrite it as "Does X. Use when Y."
- Note
Claude apps & API uploadPasses
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.
- Note
The description is 378 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 description is written in the first or second person ("you can"). Anthropic recommends the third person, such as "Processes Excel files". D7
Fix: Rewrite it as "Does X. Use when Y."
- Note
- OpenAI (Codex & API)Passes
- VS Code & CopilotPasses
