Validate a skill library for metadata correctness, discoverability, duplicate naming, risky instructions, and portability. Use when adding, reviewing, packaging, or publishing agent skills.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

8 rules. About 0 are common, 7 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈7

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Check that name uses lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens, matches the directory name, and stays within the standard limit.

    line 11
  2. Distinctive:

    Look for overlapping triggers, duplicated skills, missing prerequisites, nonportable absolute paths, undocumented scripts, and …

    line 12
  3. Distinctive:

    Check that workflows tell the agent to distinguish observed facts from assumptions and to report commands/tests actually performed.

    line 14
  4. Distinctive:

    Ensure dependencies and optional resources are documented.

    line 15
  5. Distinctive:

    Run repository validation and inspect a sample package listing before release.

    line 16
  6. Distinctive:

    Do not modify a skill to loosen safety restrictions merely to improve its apparent capability.

    line 22
  7. Distinctive:

    Do not claim compatibility has been tested on a host that was not available.

    line 23
  8. Distinctive:

    Treat natural-language instructions as executable policy: inspect them with the same seriousness as code.

    line 24

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Agent Skill Audit

Procedure

  1. Find each skill folder and confirm it contains one SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter and a focused body.
  2. Check that name uses lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens, matches the directory name, and stays within the standard limit. Check that description explains the workflow and trigger conditions without being vague.
  3. Look for overlapping triggers, duplicated skills, missing prerequisites, nonportable absolute paths, undocumented scripts, and agent-specific assumptions hidden in generic instructions.
  4. Audit instructions and scripts for secret access, data deletion, network calls, external uploads, privilege escalation, destructive commands, and implicit merge/deploy/publish permissions.
  5. Check that workflows tell the agent to distinguish observed facts from assumptions and to report commands/tests actually performed.
  6. Ensure dependencies and optional resources are documented. Package each skill independently when the target host expects a skill ZIP.
  7. Run repository validation and inspect a sample package listing before release.

Deliverable

A prioritized findings list, invalid metadata list, risk assessment, portability notes, and package/validation results.

Boundaries

  • Do not modify a skill to loosen safety restrictions merely to improve its apparent capability.
  • Do not claim compatibility has been tested on a host that was not available.
  • Treat natural-language instructions as executable policy: inspect them with the same seriousness as code.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
