mk:chom — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited mk:chom (Agent Skill) and scored it 100/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

Principles: understand before copy | challenge before plan | adapt to YOUR stack
/mk:chom <github-url|web-url|local-path|description> [feature] [--compare|--copy|--improve|--port] [--lean|--auto]Modes (all user-explicit — chom does NOT auto-derive adaptation depth):
--compare: side-by-side analysis only (phases 1–3), no decision or handoff--copy: user intent = transplant with minimal changes; biases Phase 3 toward compatibility gaps--improve: user intent = adapt anti-patterns during port; biases Phase 3 toward anti-pattern detection--port: user intent = rewrite idiomatically for local stack; biases Phase 3 toward idiom translationSpeed flags (default OFF):
--lean: skip Phase 1 researcher-agent background gathering. HARD GATE still enforced.--auto: auto-approve non-HARD-GATE steps. HARD GATE still requires human approval.Migration (v1 → v2): --analyze (v1 default) now aliases the no-flag default and emits a deprecation notice. Removed in v1.2.
If the user provides natural-language mode hints, map them to an explicit flag:
| User says | Suggested flag |
|---|---|
| "compare", "vs", "how does X do Y" | --compare |
| "copy", "1:1", "exact", "as-is" | --copy |
| "adapt", "improve", "like how X does it" | --improve |
| "port", "rewrite", "convert", "steal", "bring from" | --port |
If no hint and no flag, run no-flag default (full workflow, no mode declaration in handoff).
Detect input type FIRST, then route:
| Input | Detection | Tool |
|---|---|---|
Git URL (github.com/*, gitlab.com/*) | URL contains git host | git clone --depth 1 → mk:scout |
Web URL (https://...) | URL, not git host | mk:web-to-markdown (static) or mk:agent-browser (SPA) |
Local path (./, ../, /) | Starts with . or / | Direct Read/Glob |
| Freeform text | No URL or path | researcher agent via Task() (WebSearch) |
| Image/screenshot | Image file extension | mk:multimodal (Gemini vision) |
Clean up cloned repos after analysis.
[1. Recon] → [2. Map] → [3. Analyze] → [4. Challenge] ══ HARD GATE ══ [5. Decision] → [6. Handoff]Hard gate: Phase 4 must complete and get human approval before Phase 5. HARD GATE is non-bypassable — no flag (including --lean or --auto) skips human approval here.
Route input per table above. Always also read local docs/project-context.md for YOUR project's stack. For git repos: clone shallow, run mk:scout for architecture fingerprint. For web URLs: fetch content, capture structure and behavior.
--lean effect depends on input type:
researcher agent background gathering; proceed to Phase 2 with only the user's description + docs/project-context.mdBuild dependency matrix: source components → local equivalents (EXISTS / NEW / CONFLICT). For each component: what exists locally, what needs building, what libraries are needed.
Trace execution flow, data model, API contracts, UX patterns. Understand WHY, not just HOW.
Mode-specific focus when the user passed an explicit mode:
--copy: compatibility gaps and minimum adaptation needed--improve: anti-patterns to replace during adoption--port: idiomatic translation into local patterns--compare or no flag: architectural differences and trade-offsEscalation: if the feature has ≥3 architectural layers OR stateful workflows, emit handoff text: "Complex flow detected. Before Phase 4, trace via /mk:sequential-thinking, then return to chom." Do NOT auto-invoke any skill.
For --compare: produce Comparison Report and STOP here.
Load references/challenge-framework.md. Ask 7 questions. Score risk. Present decision matrix. Get human approval before continuing. If risk ≥ 5: recommend rejection.
Go/no-go. If go: formalize Replication Spec (no mode declaration — the user's flag, if any, is noted but chom does not pick --copy/--improve/--port on the user's behalf). If no-go: Rejection Report with reasoning.
Output Replication Spec + handoff text:
Replication Spec ready.
Challenge summary: <N> stack-fit reds, <N> data-model red, <N> blast-radius reds.
Risk level: <low|medium|high> (per challenge-framework.md 0-2 low / 3-4 medium / 5+ high).
To implement, run:
/mk:plan-creator "Replicate [feature] from [source]"
To bias future chom analysis toward a specific adaptation depth, re-invoke with:
/mk:chom [source] --copy | --improve | --port# Replication Spec: [Feature/System Name]
## 1. Source — name, URL, tech stack, what we're replicating
## 2. What to Build — specific features/patterns to replicate
## 3. Stack Fit — maps to our stack (exists / new / conflicts)
## 4. Risks & Effort — what's hard, estimated complexity
## 5. Recommendation — replicate / adapt / reject + next stepHandoff text enriches this with challenge reds + risk score.
Same as Replication Spec but replace sections 2+5 with Head-to-Head table + Takeaways. Print to conversation; do not write to disk unless user explicitly asks (the report is single-use analysis, not a durable artifact).
This skill emits handoff text. It does NOT invoke any other skill mid-flow — including /mk:plan-creator, /mk:brainstorming, /mk:cook, /mk:sequential-thinking.
This is chom's design choice, not a a platform rule. Skills can reference other skills and the model may invoke them; chom opts out because mid-flow invocations of other orchestration skills (plan-creator, brainstorming, cook) would break phase ownership — each of those skills has its own multi-phase workflow that would interleave with chom's HARD GATE discipline. chom's job ends at Phase 6 Handoff; the user invokes the next skill.
HARD GATE (Phase 4 human approval) is non-bypassable. No flag, including --lean or --auto, skips this step.
