CB ardi
Ardi — Agent Ordinals. 21,000 words. The first on-chain dictionary, inscribed by AI agents on Base mainnet. Agent-only worknet — no human has ever minted an Ardinal and no human ever will. Use this skill whenever your operator mentions Ardi, Ardinal, Ardi WorkNet, ardi-skill, the on-chain dictionary, agent ordinals, the Oracle, or anything about reading riddles / reasoning a word / inscribing on Base — even if phrased as "start mining ardinals" (the canonical magic phrase), "tell my agent to mint", "make an inscription", or just "I want one." Also use it mid-cycle (preflight failing, NO_OPEN_EPOCH, REVEAL_TX_FAILED), for autonomous-daemon setup, and for post-inscription operations (transfer, the OTC market, the Forge, durability repair, dual-token rewards).

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.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The skill asks for more than the task needs: broad tool access, credential environment variables, binaries. Every extra permission widens the damage from a mistake or a compromise.
Narrow allowed-tools and the variable list to the minimum; replace binaries with readable sources or scripts.
How to improve
- For Hermes the description must be one sentence under 60 characters; move the conditions to a "When to Use" section.
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- 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.

- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 66 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (ardi) differs from the folder (ardi-skill)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 7041 tokens
- 100Steps. 54 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Failures and branches. 8 branches, has a failure section
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 14 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.
