think-woop — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited think-woop (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.

A decided goal often dies in the gap between intention and action. WOOP closes it with two evidence-backed moves: contrast the desired outcome against the obstacle in your way, then pre-bind an if-then response. Wish (specific, challenging, feasible), Outcome (vividly imagine the best result), Obstacle (the main internal obstacle in yourself), Plan (if [obstacle or its cue], then [action]). The output is a WOOP card. Critical: imagining the outcome without contrasting the obstacle measurably reduces follow-through - the obstacle and the if-then plan are mandatory, not decoration.
When asked to run WOOP, follow these steps:

Before finalizing, verify:
Tier S. Mental contrasting with implementation intentions improves goal attainment in controlled field studies in health, academic, and work domains (Oettingen; Gollwitzer). A meta-analysis of 21 such studies finds a small-to-medium effect, g = 0.336, which publication bias may inflate (Wang, Wang & Gai 2021). The evidence that the effect is real is strong; the effect itself is modest. A 2026 replication of one mechanism study (Kappes, Singmann & Oettingen 2012) failed; it does not touch the goal-attainment meta-analysis. Note the honest inversion: positive outcome fantasy without the obstacle reduces follow-through, so the obstacle and if-then plan are mandatory. The evidence is for humans doing WOOP on their own goals, transferred to AI use, not AI-validated. Full grading: evidence/dossier.md.
