teams-adaptive-cards — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited teams-adaptive-cards (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.

Build the requested card for its actual Teams transport and client capabilities. The user's explicit instructions take precedence over this skill's guidelines.
Use the requested content/actions, delivery code or payload, and target clients as input. A card's JSON and its delivery wrapper are separate contracts.
| Transport | Required shape |
|---|---|
| Bot / Teams SDK | Activity attachments[], card content as an object |
| Workflows webhook | { "type": "message", "attachments": [...] } |
| Graph chatMessage | HTML attachment placeholder with matching ID; attachment content as a JSON string |
| Message extension | Attachment and preview appropriate to the extension type |
If delivery is unspecified, a raw card can be prepared while clarifying the transport. Do not invent a webhook URL, recipient, or bot backend. An approval/form needs a transport that handles its actions; a notification webhook is not a bot.
The references use a Teams baseline of card versions through 1.5, with 1.2 as a conservative mobile fallback. Select the minimum version needed by the requested elements and verify current host support when newer features matter. A schema version alone does not guarantee a Teams client renders an element.
Use card elements for layout: TextBlock, FactSet, Table, inputs, and actions as appropriate. TextBlock Markdown is limited; HTML, Markdown tables, and code fences are not substitutes for supported card elements. Provide wrapping, meaningful fallback text, and consistent mention metadata.
Load only the transport, element, or interaction needed.
| Task | Reference |
|---|---|
| Delivery path, bots, message extensions | SURFACES.md |
| Inputs, tables, code, charts, people picker | ELEMENTS.md |
| Submit/Execute, refresh, user-specific views | ACTIONS.md |
| Webhook notifications or requested connector migration | WEBHOOKS-WORKFLOWS.md |
| Graph attachment IDs, encoding, permissions | GRAPH-ATTACHMENTS.md |
| Width, mobile layout, accessibility | RESPONSIVE-DESIGN.md |
| Compact wrapper/version/limit lookup | CHEATSHEET.md |
For generated or changed payload files, run scripts/check-teams-card.mjs with Node.js. Resolve the script relative to this skill's directory, not the user's working directory:
node /path/to/teams-adaptive-cards/scripts/check-teams-card.mjs --target webhook /path/to/payload.jsonTargets: auto, card, bot, webhook, graph. Exit 0 means no errors (warnings can remain), 1 means errors/invalid JSON, and 2 means invalid CLI usage. Interpret warnings against the requested client/transport; the linter is a local check, not proof of live rendering. If Node is unavailable, inspect the wrapper and fields and state that the linter was not run.
Deliver the requested JSON or integration fix and verification outcome. Test live delivery only when requested or already authorized; payload creation does not require posting. Consult Teams card documentation for host capabilities not established by the bundled references.
