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

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Wraps the calculation-generator system prompt at system-prompt.txt (next to this file) and applies it to a parameter JSON produced by extract-parameters-from-full (validated by validate-parameters). Output is a single Python module of small, pure functions — one per formula_hint declared in recommended_first_calculations and derived_questions.
Stage 5 of the pipeline described in planexe_simulator/README.md.
validate-parameters (passes clean) / generate-bounds and run-scenariosNot for: regenerating the parameter JSON (use extract-parameters-from-full), validating it (use validate-parameters), producing low/base/high ranges (use generate-bounds), or running scenarios (use run-scenarios).
validate-parameters; if it visibly hasn't, tell the user and offer to validate first.<input-basename>.calculations.py next to the input. Print the file path back, plus a one-line summary (function count, any # skipped lines, any TODO stubs for P(...) notation).| Input list | Action |
|---|---|
recommended_first_calculations | one function each |
derived_questions | one function each |
key_values | not converted — these are caller-supplied inputs |
missing_values_to_estimate | not converted — supplied via bounds at scenario time |
Skip an entry whose formula_hint is null, empty, or unparseable. Replace with a # skipped: <id> -- <reason> comment.

| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
Wrapping the Python output in ``` `python ``` fences | Raw Python only |
Adding a if __name__ == "__main__": demo block | This stage emits a library, not a runnable script |
| Generating a class hierarchy | One function per formula; no classes unless required by the formulas themselves (they aren't) |
| Inventing or omitting arguments to "make the formula work" | Args must match depends_on exactly, in order |
| Forgetting the divide-by-zero guard | Every variable denominator gets a guard; numeric literals don't |
Emitting def people_contacted(...) -> float: """People contacted""" | No per-function docstrings — the signature is self-documenting |
Translating P(x >= y) as a literal Python comparison | P(...) is probability notation; emit a NotImplementedError stub instead |
Including functions for key_values or missing_values_to_estimate ids | Those are inputs, not calculations |
