anchor-viz — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited anchor-viz (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.

Investigate by diagramming. The diagram is the byproduct; the value is forcing real investigation before drawing.
diagramKind from the table below. If theuser's intent fits multiple kinds, ask one short clarification instead of guessing.
architecture, enumerate roots,manifests, workspace/build/native/container/edge/infra/source-only signals. For other kinds, find the bounded entrypoint, schema, state enum, workflow, or module/type namespace before drawing.

are absent. First scan roots; then run a bounded source-extension/code-signal scan. If both are absent, or docs/vault signals clearly dominate, do not fabricate a code diagram. Draw the real top-level structure or ask what the user wants.
primary language: titles, display labels, edge/message labels, shape notes, and short explanations. Keep code-facing identifiers source-native: Mermaid IDs, file paths, symbols, package names, class/function/module names, and established technical terms such as API, SDK, CLI, HTTP, SwiftUI, AppKit, or React.
selected kind. Every node, participant, entity, state, type, and edge/message must come from a file read.
architecture at 12-15 top-level nodes bydefault. For other kinds, use the validator's participant/message, entity/relationship, state/transition, or type/member limits. Split into drill-down diagrams when needed.
storing: %% techne:source <elementRef> <path>[#<symbol>] or, for relationship-like elements only, %% techne:inferred <relationshipRef> <reason>. Entity-like elements always need verified techne:source; relationship-like elements need file+symbol proof unless explicitly inferred with sourced endpoints. Use actor for human sequence participants so the actor path-only allowance is mechanically scoped. Solid relationships mean read-from-code. Dashed or labeled relationships mean inference only where the selected Mermaid type supports it.
source first, validate it, store it with scripts/store_viz.py, always build the self-contained viewer, and only open it when the session is interactive.
| User intent | diagramKind | Mermaid type | Evidence focus |

| Project architecture, module/service/package topology | architecture | flowchart / graph | Manifests, workspaces, imports, services, bindings, infra edges. |
| Request lifecycle, command/job flow, actor conversation | interaction | sequenceDiagram | Entrypoint, ordered calls/messages, handlers, clients, queues. |
| Tables, entities, persistence relationships | data-model | erDiagram | Schema, migrations, ORM/entity declarations, foreign keys, associations. |
| Status/order/task/review lifecycle | state-model | stateDiagram-v2 / stateDiagram | Status constants, state machines, reducers, guards, transition handlers. |
| Classes, interfaces, structs, protocols, bounded type structure | type-structure | classDiagram | Type declarations, inheritance, implementation, composition, public method groups. |
