apify-actorization — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited apify-actorization (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.

Actorization converts existing software into reusable serverless applications compatible with the Apify platform. Actors are programs packaged as Docker images that accept well-defined JSON input, perform an action, and optionally produce structured JSON output.

Run in the project root:
apify initThis creates:
.actor/actor.json - Actor configuration and metadata.actor/input_schema.json - Input definition for the Apify ConsoleDockerfile (if not present) - Container image definitionChoose based on your project's language:
| Language | Install | Wrap Code |
|---|---|---|
| JS/TS | npm install apify | await Actor.init() ... await Actor.exit() |
| Python | pip install apify | async with Actor: |
| Other | Use CLI in wrapper script | apify actor:get-input / apify actor:push-data |
See schemas-and-output.md for detailed configuration of:
.actor/input_schema.json).actor/output_schema.json).actor/actor.json)Validate schemas against @apify/json_schemas npm package.
Run the actor with inline input (for JS/TS and Python actors):
apify run --input '{"startUrl": "https://example.com", "maxItems": 10}'Or use an input file:
apify run --input-file ./test-input.jsonImportant: Always use apify run, not npm start or python main.py. The CLI sets up the proper environment and storage.
apify pushThis uploads and builds your actor on the Apify platform.
After deploying, you can monetize your actor in the Apify Store. The recommended model is Pay Per Event (PPE):
Configure PPE in the Apify Console under Actor > Monetization. Charge for events in your code with await Actor.charge('result').
Other options: Rental (monthly subscription) or Free (open source).
