programming-swift — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited programming-swift (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.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Swift is a value-oriented language with strong static typing and modern concurrency. The maintainable Swift codebase keeps domain logic in structs and enums, uses classes only for identity or shared mutable state, and isolates concurrency boundaries with actors and @MainActor. Reaching for class hierarchies and reference semantics by default produces fragile, hard-to-test code.
