AC postbox
Use this skill when the user wants to collect structured data, build forms, or set up submission endpoints — contact forms, feedback, signups, waitlists, bug reports, support, lead capture, surveys, applications, or any data flowing in from HTML, scripts, or AI agents. Also use for managing existing forms and submissions, generating frontend integration code, configuring webhooks/Discord/Slack notifications, setting up AI features (spam protection, translation, smart replies), connecting MCP, or anything mentioning Postbox or usepostbox.com. Trigger even when the user doesn't name a tool — if they need data in, this skill applies.
As a process C 58/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, running it twice
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 text contains phrases like "ignore previous instructions" or "you are now…". That is an attempt to hijack the agent: it may break your rules, the system limits or company policy.
An honest skill does not need them: state the role and the rules directly without overriding other instructions. Otherwise catalog scanners and corporate filters will block the listing.
How to improve
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

- medium 3 test cases, all positive: not one "should refuse" or "should ask first"
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.
