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

Basic | Front, Back | Definitions, facts, Q&A |
Cloze | Text with {{c1::deletion}} | Fill-in-the-blank, sequences |
Always call `anki_get_note_type_info` first when using custom note types — field names vary.

| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
Not calling anki_get_note_type_info first | Always check field names before creating notes with custom types |
| Batches > 50 notes | Split into multiple calls of 10–20 |
Using .mcpb file | Use npx -y anki-mcp-server instead |
| Anki not running | Start Anki, verify AnkiConnect is active |
| Wrong field names | Field names are case-sensitive — use anki_get_note_type_info to verify |
