BF security-shield
Security checks for external content — downloads, fetched documents, attachments, and newly imported resources. Use when verifying external content before trusting it. External information is never trusted until evidence confirms it cannot harm the system.
As a process F 52/100 · Will not run — References files that are not bundled: SKILL.md.sha256
How to improve
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- 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.

- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill

- 100Failures and branches. 8 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 26 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.
