AB brightdata-cli

Guide for using the Bright Data CLI (`brightdata` / `bdata`) to scrape websites, search the web, extract structured data from 40+ platforms, manage proxy zones, and check account budget. Use this skill whenever the user wants to scrape a URL, search Google/Bing/Yandex, extract data from Amazon/LinkedIn/Instagram/TikTok/YouTube/Reddit or any other platform, check their Bright Data balance or zones, or do anything involving web data collection from the terminal. Also trigger when the user mentions brightdata, bdata, web scraping CLI, SERP API, or wants to install Bright Data skills into their coding agent.

What is at stake

Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.

Dangerous commands medium severity

Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.

If you install

The skill contains commands that delete files, rewrite disks or execute code fetched from the network. The agent may run them without asking if it believes the instructions require it.

For the author

Replace destructive commands with safe equivalents that ask for confirmation, scope them to one folder, and stop piping curl into a shell: pin a version and a checksum.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • 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.

    Against the Agent Skills spec

    ✓ No remarks against the Agent Skills spec

    Process rating: all ten parameters 68/100

    • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
    • 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (brightdata-cli) differs from the folder (brightdata-brightdata-cli)
    • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web) that frontmatter does not declare
    • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
    • 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
    • 100Steps. 10 steps
    • 100Failures and branches. 3 branches, has a failure section
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2042 tokens
    • 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
    • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
    • low 10 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
    • low The response is described with custom markup (5 tags): a typed call is more reliable

    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.

    External checks

    ClawHub: suspicious
    The skill is mostly a coherent Bright Data CLI guide, but it repeatedly recommends a remote installer pattern that runs network code directly on the user's machine.
