julia-evaluation — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited julia-evaluation (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.
Use the MCP tools (eval, reset, pkg, activate, session, revise, log_viewer, info) for interactive Julia work. Prefer julia script.jl via bash for one-shot scripts.
Always display code in a readable julia code block BEFORE calling eval. The MCP permission prompt shows code as an escaped string which is unreadable.
MCP tool results are collapsed in Claude Code. For visual output (plots, heatmaps), tell the user to expand the tool result (Ctrl+O) to see it with full color — do NOT paste ANSI art into your message (it loses colors and streams token-by-token). For structured text (tables, matrices, DataFrames), paste in a fenced code block. Do not paste simple scalars or errors.
Prefer revise — it preserves session state. Only reset when required.
| Change | Action |
|---|---|
| Function/method body or signature | revise(action="revise") |
| Struct layout (Julia < 1.12) | reset required |
| Corrupted state / stuck code | reset required |
After editing .jl files, call revise(action="revise") to hot-reload (a PostToolUse hook reminds you after .jl edits).
| Error | Fix |
|---|---|
UndefVarError | Re-run definition or check spelling |
MethodError | Check argument types |
LoadError | pkg(action="add", packages="...") |
cannot redefine | reset (struct layout change) |
| Hung/infinite | eval(code=..., timeout=5) or reset |
On first Julia use in a conversation, ask which environment to activate (current directory, specific path, or global).
