BF podwise
Podcast knowledge workflows powered by Podwise CLI: search podcasts and episodes by keyword, monitor followed shows for new releases, find popular episodes, ask questions and extract insights from transcript content, process Podwise episode URLs, YouTube videos, Xiaoyuzhou links, and local audio or video files to retrieve transcripts, summaries, chapters, Q&A, mind maps, highlights, and keywords — plus catch up on your backlog, refine your listening taste, generate weekly recaps, export episode notes to PKM tools, research topics across podcasts, debate episode ideas, and generate language learning cards. Use when the user wants to find, summarize, transcribe, or extract insights from any podcast or audio content, or manage their listening library.
As a process F 45/100 · Will not run — References files that are not bundled: references/taste.md
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 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.
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
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- 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.

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.
