julia-revise — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited julia-revise (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.
Hot-reload Julia code changes using Revise.jl — the key to maximizing REPL session lifespan.

This eliminates the most common reason for using reset.
| Situation | Use Revise | Use Reset |
|---|---|---|
| Changed function body | Yes | No |
| Added new function | Yes | No |
| Modified method signature | Yes | No |
| Changed struct layout (Julia < 1.12) | No | Yes |
| Corrupted session state | No | Yes |
| Want clean slate | No | Yes |
| Changed const value | Sometimes | If needed |
