Run it yourself

Audit or design agent-facing product capabilities: action/context parity, discoverable contracts, safe mutations, verifiable outcomes, and recovery. Use for explicit agent-readiness reviews of apps, repos, CLIs, APIs, MCP/A2A integrations, or Agent Skills; not every general code or documentation task.

Agent instructions and skills

Keep project instructions grounded in actual setup, architecture, checks, generated files, data handling, and release boundaries. A generated AGENTS.md is a draft to review, not permission to replace a project's established instructions.

For a skill, make the trigger precise, the default workflow short, and references conditional on the task. Preserve useful tested helpers and examples; remove unsupported flags and obsolete compatibility layers rather than teaching every historical interface. Optional scripts/references/assets need not exist when the skill does not require them.

Validate YAML with a real parser, including folded/literal descriptions, duplicate keys, field limits, and string-valued metadata. Then inspect links and script syntax without running project code. --help is executable code, not a trusted metadata read. The structural validator does not prove provider compatibility or task success.

Evaluate positive and negative triggers and inspect complete agent traces on real tasks. A JSON file containing evaluation prompts is a fixture, not a passing eval. Measure the improvement relative to using no skill; tighten instructions around observed failure modes rather than adding generic admonitions indefinitely.

Skill behaviors

skilld matched fixed text patterns in SKILL.md and file names. Patterns miss obfuscated code.

skilld run checks every file with the same patterns. It asks for approval before it loads a Skill with a behavior marked Needs approval.

    The skill 'agent-use' is a comprehensive toolkit for auditing and designing agent-ready systems. It includes documentation, templates, and Python scripts for scanning repositories and websites. Security analysis found no malicious intent; identified network and command execution patterns are aligned with the skill's primary purpose as an auditing tool.
