intelligence-review-skills — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited intelligence-review-skills (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Read-only audit of the project's rules, agents and skills, ending in a punch-list. This skill owns the generic audit — everything true of any repository. A project that adds laws of its own layers a thin project audit on top and invokes this one; it never re-implements these checks.
Name reflects the umbrella usage of "skills" for all AI artifacts (rules + agents + skills).
config.yaml; the engine module is the directory under it holding scripts/sync.sh and scripts/VERSION (conventionally sync/). Read authoring conventions from <module>/docs/CONVENTIONS.md and the intelligence-authoring rule.sources.rules, sources.agents and sources.skills — there may be several groups (e.g. a shared one and a project one), they may be nested, and an @<pack> (or inline git+) entry is a remote pack declared under packs:. Take the list from the config; a literal intelligence/rules/ is wrong in any project that named things differently.<module>/ (<module>/rules, <module>/agents, <module>/skills/intelligence-*) are upstream-owned: update.sh replaces them wholesale, so a local "fix" there is deleted at the next update. Never propose an edit to them. If one of them is genuinely wrong, or a generic check is missing from this skill, that is a proposal to upstream — say so in the report rather than patching locally..claude/, .cursor/, .github/, .codex/, .agents/, .pi/, .opencode/, AGENTS.md). Sync owns those entirely; the finding always belongs to the source.| Check | What it is | Proposed action |
|---|---|---|
| Duplicate content | Two artifacts cover overlapping scope, or their descriptions share trigger phrases | MERGE — present both, propose one |
| Misplaced content | A checklist or procedure in an agent body; a convention in an agent; a workflow in a rule; expertise in a skill (the Pick the right artifact table in intelligence-authoring) | MOVE — a move, not a rewrite: both files change together |
| Over the cap | SKILL.md over 1000 lines, rule over 500, agent over 200 | SPLIT — two artifacts, or move detail into references/<topic>.md |
| Rule links to a rule | A markdown link from one rule to another (R1) | UNLINK — name the rule instead: always-on rules are inlined into AGENTS.md and the scoped channels carry only scoped rules, so the link is dead in at least one output |
| Machine facts in a rule | OS, shell, editor or a local absolute path (R2) | MOVE — these belong in a personal, gitignored CLAUDE.md; a rule is committed and read by everyone, including whoever is on another platform |
| Literal path or command in a skill | A path outside the skill's own folder baked into a procedure (R3) | PARAMETERIZE — a skill is executed, so a literal path breaks the moment the layout moves; resolve it from a rule or from config.yaml. Exempt: the skill's own bundle (references/, scripts/, assets/ — content is co-located with its skill by default); rules and agents (describing the repository is their job); an example inside an output-format block; the resolution step itself |
| Skill with no verification | Nothing at the end proves the procedure worked (R4) | FLAG — a procedure that proves nothing is a note, or just the work: give it a verification, or delete it |
| Reserved prefix | A project artifact named intelligence-* | RENAME — the prefix belongs to the engine, and the updater prunes what matches it |
| Naming | A skill that is not <domain>-<verb>-<noun>, or a domain invented rather than reused | RENAME — or introduce the new domain deliberately |
| Stale | No edits in 6+ months and nothing cross-references it | ARCHIVE — move to <umbrella>/_archive/ |
| Negative-framed judgement call | "Never do X" where a positive default fits, outside safety / security / output-format | REWRITE — state the default; reserve NEVER for true must-nots |
| Unbacked reason | A rule asserts a why — a number, a measurement, a tool's behaviour — that nothing in the repo or in that tool's documentation supports | FLAG — an invented reason is worse than none: it sounds like evidence. Surface it with a draft; never rewrite the meaning yourself |
| Always-on rule that should be scoped | A concern that only matters in one area, loaded into every session and inlined into AGENTS.md | SCOPE — add paths:, or justify the cost out loud |
| Weak / duplicate description | Identical to a sibling, or too vague to choose between them | DIFFERENTIATE — add the distinguishing trigger |
| Description over budget | Over ~250 characters (the shared registry budget); over 1024 the tools reject the artifact outright | TRIM — keep the distinguishing trigger, drop the rest |
| Missing frontmatter field | name or description absent | PATCH — add it |
| Orphan rule | Nothing points at it and nothing loads it | FLAG — intentional, or dead? |
Detection commands, portable on purpose — no \b and no -P, so the same command works in Git Bash on Windows, on macOS (BSD grep) and on Linux. Run each over the source directories resolved in step 2, never over generated output:
# R1 — a markdown link from one rule to another
grep -rnE '\]\([^)]*\.md\)' <rule-dirs>
# R2 — machine facts in a rule (a shell, someone's home directory, a drive letter)
grep -rinE 'powershell|cmd\.exe|/Users/|/home/|[A-Za-z]:[\\]' <rule-dirs>
# R3 — a path baked into a skill's steps, excluding the skill's own bundle
grep -rnE --include=SKILL.md '[A-Za-z0-9._-]+/[A-Za-z0-9._/-]+\.[A-Za-z0-9]+' <skill-dirs> \
| grep -vE '(^|[^A-Za-z0-9._/-])(references|scripts|assets)/'
# R4 — skills whose body never mentions verifying anything (-L lists files with NO match)
grep -riLE --include=SKILL.md 'verif|expect|assert|check|test|IS_STATUS' <skill-dirs>R4 is a coarse net, not a verdict: a skill that merely mentions a verification command anywhere passes it. Read the final step of every skill regardless — the question is whether something at the end proves the work landed, not whether the word appears.
SPLIT, REWRITE or PATCH, ask whether the artifact should exist at all, whether two should become one, and whether the rule could be replaced by a gate the model cannot skip. A deletion is a better outcome than a tidy-up, and the punch-list should say so when it is true.The user accepts items individually; bulk-accept for low-impact tweaks is fine. Anything that changes meaning (a law, a boundary, a gate, an unbacked reason) is surfaced with a draft and left to the human who owns it — never auto-fixed.
