trellis-start — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited trellis-start (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.

First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Initialize a Trellis-managed development session. This platform has no session-start hook, so manually load the equivalent context by following these steps (each one mirrors a section the hook would otherwise inject).
Identity, git status, current task, active tasks, journal location.

Discover packages + spec layers, then read each relevant index file.

From Step 1 you know the current task. Check the task directory:
python3 ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py --mode phase --step 2.1 --platform codextrellis-brainstorm skill.trellis-brainstorm skill to clarify requirements, then create a task via task.py create. For simple one-off questions or trivial edits, skip this and just answer directly — no task needed.| User intent | Skill |
|---|---|
| New feature / unclear requirements | trellis-brainstorm |
| About to write code | trellis-before-dev |
| Done coding / quality check | trellis-check |
| Stuck / fixed same bug multiple times | trellis-break-loop |
| Learned something worth capturing | trellis-update-spec |
