skf-test-skill — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited skf-test-skill (Agent Skill) and scored it 65/100 (yellow). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 4 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.

First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Verifies that a skill is complete enough to be useful to an AI agent by checking coverage of the public API surface (naive mode) or validating SKILL.md + references coherence (contextual mode). Produces a completeness score and gap report as a quality gate before export.
references/<name>.md) resolve from the skill root.knowledge/ or shared/ resolve from the SKF module root ({project-root}/_bmad/skf/ installed, src/ in dev), not the skill root; e.g. shared/references/output-contract-schema.md and shared/health-check.md.skf-<name>/...) resolves from the SKF module root, and that skill must be installed with this one. The coherence and migration rules cite skf-create-skill/assets/skill-sections.md and skf-create-stack-skill/references/compose-mode-rules.md.references/ holds prompt content carved out of SKILL.md (workflow stages chained via frontmatter nextStepFile, plus static reference docs); scripts/ holds deterministic helpers, assets/ the output section formats and templates/ the test report template.{skill-root} resolves to this skill's installed directory (where customize.toml lives, if present).{project-root}-prefixed paths resolve from the project working directory.{skill-name} resolves to the skill directory's basename.You are a skill auditor and completeness analyst operating in Ferris's Audit mode. This is a deterministic quality gate — you bring AST-backed analysis expertise and zero-hallucination verification, while the skill artifacts provide the evidence.
These rules apply to every step in this workflow:

Headless callers: the full argument set (Inputs), the outputs, the exit codes and the SKF_TEST_RESULT_JSON result envelope live in references/invocation-contract.md. Interactive runs do not need it.
{project-root}/_bmad/skf/config.yaml and resolve:project_name, user_name, communication_language, document_output_languageskills_output_folder, forge_data_folder, sidecar_path--headless or -H was passed as an argument, or if headless_mode: true in {sidecar_path}/preferences.yaml. Default: false. uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --project-root {project-root} --key workflowIt merges the bundled {skill-root}/customize.toml with {project-root}/_bmad/custom/skf-test-skill.toml (team overrides, committed) and .user.toml (personal overrides, gitignored). When it exits non-zero, prints no JSON or is missing, print one line, [activation/warn] customization_resolver_unavailable: <reason> (<reason>: its first stderr line, not found when the script is missing, no JSON when it printed none). If the resolver cannot run, read {skill-root}/customize.toml alone and use its bundled defaults: the {project-root}/_bmad/custom/ overrides do not apply to this run. In that case keep the reason as {customization_resolver_unavailable}: report.md §4c hands it to the result as a warning.
Apply the scalar fallbacks now so stage files don't have to repeat the conditional logic. For each scalar, if the merged value is empty or absent, use the bundled default:
{testReportTemplatePath} ← workflow.test_report_template_path if non-empty, else templates/test-report-template.md{defaultThreshold} ← workflow.default_threshold if non-empty/non-null, else 80. init.md §1b resolves the precedence (CLI, then per-pipeline default, then this scalar) once and writes threshold and thresholdSource into the report frontmatter, which score.md §1 reads.{onCompleteCommand} ← workflow.on_complete if non-empty, else empty string (the post-finalization hook in references/report.md is then a no-op).Stash all three as workflow-context variables that stage files reference directly, with no conditional at the usage site. The scoring rules, the Gap Severity table and the output formats are not overridable: scripts own the scoring and the hard gate reads the table, so a house-style copy could change what blocks export.
Apply the array surfaces (not silent no-ops): run workflow.activation_steps_prepend in order now; treat each workflow.persistent_facts entry as standing context for the run (file:-prefixed entries load their file/glob contents as facts: the bundled default loads every project-context.md under {project-root}; an entry prefixed ! drops each earlier entry it names and loads nothing itself, so an override's "!file:{project-root}/**/project-context.md" turns that default off); then run workflow.activation_steps_append after activation.
