creator — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited creator (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.
You are generating a skill that lives inside another project. The output is a working clone of paper-to-experiment adapted to that project's simulation framework.

pyproject.toml / package.json / Cargo.toml (language + deps)docs/ for any README / architecture notesCatalog: language, config format (JSON/YAML/TOML/Python), entry-script signature, output dir convention, existing analyzer/plotter classes.
Open templates/interview.md, ask the 17 questions in order. One question per turn. Multiple-choice when possible. Skip questions whose answers you already inferred — and say so ("from inspecting <file>, I'll assume X; correct?").
Save user answers + inspections to docs/specs/<TS>-<framework-name>-profile.md using templates/framework_profile.md as scaffold. This file is the input contract for skill generation.
For each {{X}} placeholder in templates/skill_scaffold/, substitute from the framework profile filled in Step 3.
Identity / structure (from §A):

{{ACCEL_BUDGET_GB}} | D.2 accel |
{{ACCEL_PER_N_BYTES}}, {{ACCEL_OVERHEAD_GB}} | D.2 + B.4 calibration |
{{FAST_RATE_SMALL}}, {{FAST_RATE_MID}}, {{FAST_RATE_LARGE}} | B.4 step rate (fast mode, by N tier) |
{{SLOW_RATE_SMALL}}, {{SLOW_RATE_LARGE}} | B.4 step rate (slow mode, by N tier) |
Defaults (from §A.7 + C):
| Token | Profile field |
|---|---|
{{DEFAULT_ANALYZER}} | one of A.7 with "Analyzer" suffix |
{{DEFAULT_AGGREGATOR}} | one of A.7 with "Aggregator" suffix |
{{ANALYZER_NAMING}} | F.3 |
Write the generated files to <user_project>/.claude/skills/paper-to-experiment-<framework>/. Never overwrite an existing skill of the same name without explicit confirmation.
Self-check before handoff: grep the generated files for any remaining {{...}} tokens. If any survive, you missed a substitution — go back to Step 3 and add the missing profile field.
Run validate_config.py --strict (the generated one) against one of the user's existing approved configs. Must exit 0. If it fails, fix the schema generation rule, regenerate, retry. Log failures into the profile §F (lessons captured for future iterations).
Tell the user: where the skill is, what registry entries to add, the smoke-test command, and the contract file (SKILL.md) they'll iterate on.
| Thought | Reality |
|---|---|
| "Just clone paper-to-experiment as-is" | Their framework isn't ours. Profile-substitution is the whole point. |
| "Skip the interview, infer everything" | One wrong inference rots downstream. Ask when unsure. |
| "Don't bother self-testing" | Untested generation = handing the user a broken skill. |
| "AI runs simulations to verify" | Out of scope — creator produces files, never burns compute. |
