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

Interview the user to create a personalized workflow-protocol.yaml that defines how they want to collaborate with AI. This protocol captures:
Ask the user:
Let's set up your workflow protocol. I'll ask you questions across 5 areas to understand how you work best with AI.
>
First: Goals & Objectives
>
1. What are you trying to accomplish right now? (Both immediate and longer-term) 2. What does success look like for your current priority? 3. What are your main constraints? (Time, resources, dependencies, regulatory)
Use AskUserQuestion for structured input where appropriate. Capture:
goals.primary[] — with description, success_criteria, timelinegoals.secondary[] — longer-term objectivesAsk the user:
Domains & Expertise
>
1. What domains do you work in professionally? 2. For each domain — would you rate yourself as expert, actively learning, or novice? 3. Are there adjacent domains that affect your work where you'd want AI support?
Capture:
domains.expert[] — areas of deep knowledgedomains.learning[] — actively building competencedomains.novice[] — need significant AI supportAsk the user:
Tools & Connections
>
1. What tools do you use daily? (Document management, communication, project tracking, research, etc.) 2. What data sources do you need to access regularly? 3. Are there external systems or APIs you interact with?
Map user responses to known MCP server equivalents where possible:
gdrive MCPslack MCPgithub MCPweb_searchsemantic_scholarCapture as tools dict with human-readable name + MCP mapping comment.
Ask the user:
Work Preferences
>
1. How do you prefer to split work with AI? (AI leads research, you lead decisions? Equal partners? AI as assistant?) 2. When should AI act on its own vs. check in with you first? 3. How explicit do you want AI to be about what it's uncertain about? (Always surface uncertainty / only when it matters / minimal) 4. When you're wrong about something, how do you prefer to be told? (Direct and factual / gentle reframe / Socratic questioning)
Capture:
work_preferences.ai_autonomy_level — one of: autonomous, collaborative_with_checkpoints, assistant_modework_preferences.uncertainty_surfacing — one of: always_explicit, when_material, minimalwork_preferences.pushback_style — one of: direct_and_factual, gentle_reframe, socraticwork_preferences.task_splitting.ai_autonomous[] — tasks AI can do alonework_preferences.task_splitting.ai_with_checkpoint[] — tasks needing approvalwork_preferences.task_splitting.human_only[] — tasks AI should never doAsk the user:
Trust & Autonomy
>
1. What would AI need to demonstrate to earn more autonomy from you? (Accuracy? Flagging its own gaps? Proactive identification of issues?) 2. What are your absolute non-negotiables — things AI should never do without explicit approval? 3. How should trust be built? (Start restricted and expand? Start open and pull back if needed?)
Capture:
trust_building.current_level — one of: establishing, building, established, high_trusttrust_building.autonomy_earned_through[] — specific demonstrationstrust_building.non_negotiables[] — hard boundariesAfter all 5 phases, generate a complete workflow-protocol.yaml file.
