grasping-short-axis — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited grasping-short-axis (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.

Deterministic, geometry-locked grasping with CuRobo. The grasp pose is computed directly from the target OBB — the gripper descends along world −Z with its finger-opening axis snapped to the OBB's shorter horizontal axis, so the jaws close across the narrow dimension of the bar. An optional node then slides the grasp outward along the handle, clear of a heavier attached body. The subgraph builds a per-observation collision world (target excluded), plans a CuRobo trajectory, executes it, finalizes the last waypoint, closes the gripper, and outputs the EE pose at grasp.
This skill depends on the curobo and geometry tool bundles:
export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda
uv sync --extra curobo --extra geometry # (pip: pip install -e "open-robot-skills[curobo,geometry]" --no-build-isolation)bottles, tools, utensils.
base_obbfor the outward slide.

10 states, in order:
open → compute_grasp → offset_from_base → approach → observe
→ build_world → plan → execute → finalize → close → grasped(grasped is the success-marker noop from sg.add_exit("grasped"), with an edge to END.)
State details:
type: tool, tool: "robot.open_gripper",inputs: { settle_steps: 40 }.
type: script, filescripts/<sg>/short_axis_grasp_pose.py (canonical — do NOT re-emit a
`target_obb = Ref("in.target_obb")`. Optional `z_offset` (default
−0.04: descend the fingertip 4 cm into the OBB top). Returns
`{grasp_pose: Se3Pose}`.
3. **`offset_from_base`** — `type: script`, file
`scripts/<sg>/offset_grasp_from_base.py` (canonical). Inputs:
`handle_obb = Ref("in.target_obb")`,
`grasp_pose = Ref("compute_grasp.grasp_pose")`, and — ONLY when a
body perception was authored and `base_obb` declared as a subgraph
input — `base_obb = Ref("in.base_obb")`. Returns
`{adjusted_grasp: Se3Pose}`. Safe no-op when `base_obb` is absent.
4. **`approach`** — `type: script`, file
`scripts/<sg>/approach_above.py` (canonical). Inputs:
`target_position = Ref("offset_from_base.adjusted_grasp.position")`,
`rotation = Ref("offset_from_base.adjusted_grasp.rotation")`,
`target_obb = Ref("in.target_obb")`.
5. **`observe`** — `type: tool`, `tool: "robot.get_observation"`.
6. **`build_world`** — `type: script`, file
`scripts/<sg>/build_world.py` (canonical). Inputs:
`observation = Ref("observe")`,
`target_mask = Ref("in.target_mask")`,
`target_obb = Ref("in.target_obb")`, `target_name = "target"`.
7. **`plan`** — `type: script`, file `scripts/<sg>/plan_grasp.py`
(canonical). Inputs: `world_config = Ref("build_world.config")`,
`observation = Ref("observe")`,
`grasp_poses = Ref("offset_from_base.adjusted_grasp")`,
`target_name = "target"`. `plan_grasp.py` auto-wraps the single bare
Se3Pose into a one-element list. All four inputs are required.
8. **`execute`** — `type: tool`,
`tool: "robot.execute_trajectory"`,
`inputs: { trajectory: Ref("plan.trajectory"), subsample: 4 }`.
9. **`finalize`** — `type: script`, file
`scripts/<sg>/finalize_trajectory.py` (canonical). Inputs:
`trajectory = Ref("plan.trajectory")`. MANDATORY — see the
`execute → finalize → close` hard_rule. Edges:
`execute → finalize`, `finalize → close`.
10. **`close`** — `type: tool`, `tool: "robot.close_gripper"`,
`inputs: { settle_steps: 60 }`. Edge directly from `close` to the
`grasped` success marker.
The cross-subgraph output binding:
sg.set_outputs( ee_pose_at_grasp=Ref("observe.arms.0.ee_pose"), grasp_pose=Ref("offset_from_base.adjusted_grasp"), )
Wire the exit:
sg.add_edge("close", "grasped") sg.add_edge("grasped", END)
sg.add_exit("grasped") sg.set_on_error("failed")
## Required end states
| End state | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `grasped` | Gripper has closed on the object after the descend. Route to the next subgraph (typically `transporting-objects`). |
| `failed` | Any grasp-attempt failure: collision-aware planning failure or trajectory execution error (a raise to `on_error`). Lives only in `on_error` — never declare a `failed` node. |
## Checkpoints
Express grasp success as a `validate=True` postcondition checkpoint
`target_held` on the `close` state (the gripper is holding the target
after close). Do not add a re-check-and-raise node.
