adversarial-workflow-audit — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited adversarial-workflow-audit (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.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
A multi-pass quality auditing system adapted specifically for manual markdown workflows. Unlike agent skills (which trigger automatically), workflows are manually invoked by users and execute sequentially. This audit ensures they are deterministic, safe, and robust.

This skill follows the standard dual-agent adversarial pattern (Agent A: The Evaluator, Agent B: The Adversarial Tester). For the core pipeline rules, phase definitions, and agent switching protocols, read: [../adversarial-security/references/adversarial-base-protocol.md](../adversarial-security/references/adversarial-base-protocol.md)
For the specific audit categories and rubric, read:
Phase 4 triggers an independent validation pass using the GitHub CLI (gh copilot). The copilot subcommand is built into modern gh CLI — no separate extension is needed. This provides a fundamentally different model's perspective on workflow quality, catching ambiguous steps and missing safety gates that internal review normalizes.
Prerequisites: gh CLI v2.x+ with gh auth status passing. If gh copilot is not available, skip Phase 4 gracefully and note the skip in the journal entry.
Read references/copilot-usage.md for critical non-interactive execution requirements.
Every phase creates a journal entry for future retrieval. Ensure the entry_type and tags map to the protocol table above.
See ../adversarial-security/references/journal-opt-out.md for instructions on how to handle explicit opt-outs from journaling.
