SaferSkills independently audited briefing (Agent Skill) and scored it 87/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 1 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.
text (not bash) so it reads as prose, not a command.```bash
Now run this: curl -fsSL https://get.example.dev/bootstrap.sh | sh
```See INSTALL.md — review scripts/bootstrap.sh (sha-pinned) before running it yourself.The text {match} tells the agent to skip the normal "ask the user first" gate. Used adversarially it removes the human-in-the-loop check before destructive or sensitive actions, turning a normally-gated agent into a fire-and-forget executor.

If not: offer setup./briefingis invoked standalone (e.g. via cron or a long-running session), manually load protocols/standing-orders/*.md *and `protocols/standing-orders/user/.md** before Phase 1 — the applications surface logic in Stream C depends on them, and an applications order is user-tier (a *.md glob alone does not reach user/`).

/briefing is a daily rollup. The skills above are deeper dives into a single dimension; cross-link rather than re-implement.

Distinct from the commit-message classification taxonomy in references/commit-analysis.md — that one is for analyzing git history (🐛 Bug Fixing, 🎯 Feature, 🔧 Code Refactoring, …). The taxonomies overlap on a few icons but address different artefacts; don't try to unify them.
