Operate an already-open Hinge session in the browser or on iPhone to review profiles, triage the queue, analyze matches, draft respectful openers or replies, and execute explicit like, reply, or rose actions when the user has asked for autonomous sending. Use when Codex is helping with Hinge browsing, inbox triage, profile analysis, first-message drafting, reply drafting, dating-app note taking, or organizing a live Hinge session. This skill can navigate and read the app, but must not bulk scrape, create fake personas, or impersonate the user.

What is at stake
Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The instructions or scripts send data out: environment variables, keys, file contents, chat history. You may never notice, because the agent performs the upload as "part of the task".
If the upload is not needed for the task, remove it: catalogs flag such skills and delist them. If it is needed, name the destination explicitly, say what leaves the machine, and give the user a switch.
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 69/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (barney) differs from the folder (hinge-rizz-agent)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 100Steps. 131 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Failures and branches. 12 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2617 tokens
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- low 10 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
