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.

Cross-client dispatch wrapper for the pm-skill-auditor sub-agent. Detects runtime; dispatches to the native sub-agent on Claude Code; reads agents/pm-skill-auditor.md and executes inline on non-Claude clients.

Summary for this skill as of v2.16.0: PRODUCTION on Claude Code + Codex CLI (Codex CLI successfully invoked the validator suite via Bash + produced a layered audit report with re-derived aggregate counters); EXPERIMENTAL on Cursor / Windsurf / Copilot CLI / Gemini CLI.
The "read canonical agent definition and execute inline" pattern depends on the AI client being able to:
Most AI clients support all three. If any are unreliable on a specific client, that client falls back to manual validator invocation + manual cross-cutting checks.
