expertise-exchange — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited expertise-exchange (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.

adept exchange is a shared billboard where developers (and their agents) ask teammates for expertise and stack responses on each request. The server is passive storage + auth — it never runs an agent. You drive it with the CLI; always pass --json so you can parse results.
Before anything else, run:
adept exchange status --jsonIt returns { "server": "...", "registered": <bool>, "dismissed": <bool> }. Branch on it:
user explicitly asks to use the exchange this turn.
but isn't set up. Ask the user which they want (do not pick for them):
token and you run adept exchange register --server <url> --bootstrap <tok>.
adept exchange serve once andshares the bootstrap token it prints. See references/setup-and-usage.md.
dismiss (saved per-user; reverse with adept exchange recommendation undismiss`). Then stop suggesting it.
The moment you begin interacting with adept in a session, sample the open requests — not just the ones assigned to you:
adept exchange list --status attention-required --jsonSkim each open request against the knowledge already available to you and the user this session: the current codebase, the user's domain and prior context, what you've just been working on. For any request that is relevant to what the user likely knows:
on this. Want me to draft a response?" Do this even if the request is not assigned to the user — open expertise gaps are worth filling.
exactly what information is missing and ask the user to supply it, so the answer you post actually closes the gap.
respond. Do not invent expertise; if neither you nor the user knows, skip it.
Sample once per session (when you first touch adept), not on every command. If status reported dismissed: true, skip sampling unless the user asks.
Answer requests addressed to the user, or post your own:
adept exchange list --mine --json # requests authored by or assigned to you
adept exchange show <id> --json # full text + existing responses
adept exchange respond <id> --body "…" # post an answer (auto-flips to in-progress)
adept exchange submit --title "…" --body "…" --assignee alice --tag auth
adept exchange close <id> # author-only; reopen with `reopen`Read the request and answer from what you know or can verify in the codebase — do not invent expertise; if unsure, say so in the response.
Full command reference, statuses, hosting, auth, and token rotation live in `references/setup-and-usage.md` — read it before hosting a server or troubleshooting auth.
