From the files and frontmatter at commit 69817e4. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.

Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit 69817e4 · 3 Nov 2026

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 69817e4 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 specPasses with warnings

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

  • 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; hermes (a map) 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

    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

    Reference files that SKILL.md doesn't link: README_EN.md. Anthropic suggests linking every reference file directly from SKILL.md. B4

    Fix: Link each one from SKILL.md and say when to read it.

  • Note

    Reference files over 100 lines with no table of contents at the top: templates/literature-push-template.md (160 lines). B5

    Fix: Add a short list of the sections at the top of each.

• 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

    Reference files that SKILL.md doesn't link: README_EN.md. Anthropic suggests linking every reference file directly from SKILL.md. B4

    Fix: Link each one from SKILL.md and say when to read it.

  • Note

    Reference files over 100 lines with no table of contents at the top: templates/literature-push-template.md (160 lines). B5

    Fix: Add a short list of the sections at the top of each.

• 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 270 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

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

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

  • Note

    Reference files that SKILL.md doesn't link: README_EN.md. Anthropic suggests linking every reference file directly from SKILL.md. B4

    Fix: Link each one from SKILL.md and say when to read it.

  • Note

    Reference files over 100 lines with no table of contents at the top: templates/literature-push-template.md (160 lines). B5

    Fix: Add a short list of the sections at the top of each.

• 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

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

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