g-code-3d-printing — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited g-code-3d-printing (Agent Skill) and scored it 82/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 2 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.

How generated G-code stays safe on real hardware: the machine is never asked to move from an unknown position, never asked to extrude cold, and never asked to override a firmware safety feature. Every rule here maps to a specific way printers catch fire, crash, or ruin a plate.
Baseline: Marlin 2.1.x and Klipper current stable. Both accept the standard G-code below, the difference is that Klipper expects complex sequences to live in Jinja2 macros rather than in the slicer.
kicad.embedded-c-arduino.bash or powershell.home-assistant.markdown-writer.Never override or disable firmware thermal runaway protection from G-code. It is the feature that stops a detached thermistor from turning into a fire. Use the blocking heat commands before any extrusion: M109 waits for the hotend, M190 waits for the bed. The non-blocking M104 and M140 are for starting a heat-up early, never as the only heat command before extruding, because cold extrusion shreds filament and strips the extruder gear.
Pass:
M140 S60
M104 S215
M190 S60
M109 S215Fail:
M104 S215
G1 E10 F300Respect the hardware ceiling: a PTFE-lined hotend stays at or below 230 C, because PTFE decomposition starts above 240 C and off-gasses. An all-metal hotend follows the manufacturer's stated maximum. Run M303 E0 S<temp> C8 PID tuning before committing a new filament profile.
Never rely on the machine's assumed state. Declare absolute positioning with G90 and pick the extruder mode explicitly: M82 for absolute E values, M83 for relative. The choice must match what the slicer profile computes. Use G91 only for an immediate micro-move such as a Z-hop, and return to G90 on the next line.
Pass:
G90
M83Fail:
G1 X50 Y50 F3000G28 before any G0 or G1. A move commanded from an unknown position is a crash. Be given the exact build volume and never generate a coordinate outside it.
Pass:
G28
G1 Z5 F600Fail:
G1 Z0 F600Z-hop over already-printed areas so the hot nozzle cannot collide with and dislodge the part:
G91
G1 Z0.4 F600
G90
G0 X120 Y95
G91
G1 Z-0.4 F600
G90On Klipper, tool changes, filament runout, and mesh levelling go through pre-configured Jinja2 macros, so the logic lives in printer.cfg under version control rather than being regenerated by every slicer export.
Pass:
START_PRINT BED_TEMP=60 EXTRUDER_TEMP=215Fail:
M190 S60
M109 S215
G28
BED_MESH_CALIBRATE
G1 X1 Y20 Z0.3 F5000Feedrate F is always millimetres per minute, never mm/s, so 600 is 10 mm/s. Insert M400 before anything that needs the toolhead physically stopped: a camera snapshot, a macro handoff, a pause.
The sequence is fixed: home, heat to the real target, level, purge outside the part, then print. Never hard-code a Z-offset, read it from the printer's saved configuration. Never purge over the area the part will occupy.
On Klipper this sequence is the body of the START_PRINT macro in printer.cfg, and the slicer start G-code stays the single START_PRINT call shown above. The mesh loads after the heat, because the bed changes shape as it warms.
Pass, a complete START_PRINT macro body for a 220 x 220 bed:
G90
M83
M140 S{params.BED_TEMP}
M104 S{params.EXTRUDER_TEMP}

G1 X1.4 Y20 E40 F1500
G92 E0
G1 Z2 F3000On Marlin, which has no macros, the same sequence is the slicer start G-code itself: write the temperatures as the slicer placeholders {bed_temperature} and {first_layer_temperature}, and with UBL or BLTouch replace the BED_MESH_PROFILE LOAD=default line with G29.
And the matching end sequence, which retracts, lifts, parks clear of the part, and cuts the heaters and motors:
M400
G91
G1 E-4 F2100
G1 Z10 F600
G90
G1 X5 Y200 F6000
M104 S0
M140 S0
M106 S0
M84 X Y E
M117 Print completeFail, an end sequence that leaves the nozzle sitting on the part with the heaters live:
M104 S0
M84The pair belongs together in the slicer profile and in version control. The end sequence retracts before it lifts, so no ooze is dragged across the top surface, and it leaves the Z motor energised so the gantry cannot drop.
Insert ; VERIFY: <instruction> comments where the operator must confirm hardware state, bed clear or filament loaded, before the sequence continues. Use M112 as the abort in any script detecting a fatal condition, and understand that it cuts power to all motors and heaters and needs a firmware restart afterwards.
