SaferSkills independently audited rag-vault (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.

| Tool | Use When |
|---|---|
ingest_file | Local files (PDF, DOCX, TXT, MD, JSON, JSONL) |
ingest_data | Raw content (HTML, text) with source URL |
query_documents | Semantic + keyword hybrid search |
delete_file / list_files / status | Management |
Hybrid search combines vector (semantic) and keyword (BM25).
Lower = better match. Use this to filter noise.
| Score | Action |
|---|---|
| < 0.3 | Use directly |
| 0.3-0.5 | Include if mentions same concept/entity |
| > 0.5 | Skip unless no better results |
| Intent | Limit |
|---|---|
| Specific answer (function, error) | 5 |
| General understanding | 10 |
| Comprehensive survey | 20 |
| Situation | Why Transform | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Specific term mentioned | Keyword search needs exact match | KEEP term |
| Vague query | Vector search needs semantic signal | ADD context |
| Error stack or code block | Long text dilutes relevance | EXTRACT core keywords |
| Multiple distinct topics | Single query conflates results | SPLIT queries |
| Few/poor results | Term mismatch | EXPAND (see below) |
When results are few or all score > 0.5, expand query terms:
"config" → "config configuration settings configure"Avoid over-expansion (causes topic drift).
When to include vs skip, based on answer quality, not just score.
