phx:mix-compression — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited phx:mix-compression (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.

First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Mix commands (mix test, mix credo, mix dialyzer, mix compile) emit verbose, repetitive output that consumes context fast. This skill installs rtk — a CLI proxy that filters tool output before it lands in the transcript.
The filters short-circuit happy paths to a single line (mix test: all pass) while preserving full failure blocks, compile errors, and stack traces. Net win: 5-15% per-session token reduction on mix-heavy workflows.

rtk verify # runs all embedded [[tests.*]] fixtures
rtk verify --filter mix-test # one filter onlyCheck that all report "passed". Flag and stop if any fail — usually means the user has a custom rtk version with regex differences.
Run rtk init zsh (or rtk init bash) to install the transparent rewrite hook that turns mix X into rtk mix X. Re-running is safe (idempotent). Skip this step and mix calls run unfiltered.
Add custom regex patterns to strip_lines_matching for project-specific noise sources (e.g., third-party hex deps spamming stack traces). See the inline example in references/rtk-filters.toml lines 57-59.
PostToolUse hooks fire after the tool resultis in the transcript and cannot shrink it. rtk works at the subprocess layer (the only layer where transcript-shortening is possible).
