editorial-app-craft — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited editorial-app-craft (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 build a single-file HTML web app with a cozy editorial aesthetic — sage + cream + terracotta, Playfair Display + Source Sans 3, with a curated set of "considered detail" patterns layered in. Optional Firebase backend (Auth + Firestore + Hosting + custom domain).
This is for personal / family / cozy / journaling / shared-with-loved-ones apps. It is NOT for marketing pages, dashboards, or generic SaaS. The aesthetic is "Field Notes meets a quiet weekend morning at home."
============================================================ === PRE-FLIGHT === ============================================================
Before starting, verify:
firebase --version works and the user has run firebase login.If any check fails:
has strong opinions; using it on the wrong target produces strange output.
brew install firebase-cli or skip the deploy phase entirelyand produce a static single-file app instead.
once they know.
============================================================ === PHASE 1: UNDERSTAND THE APP === ============================================================
Ask (in ONE message, then proceed):
If the user already gave enough signal in their prompt, skip the questions and proceed.
VALIDATION: You can describe the app in one paragraph and name its core data model. FALLBACK: If still unclear, propose a small default and let the user redirect.
============================================================ === PHASE 2: SCAFFOLD === ============================================================

<head> with theme-color meta, favicon link, apple-touch-icon link, Google Fonts (PlayfairDisplay + Source Sans 3), inline <style>.
assets/design-tokens.css.assets/patterns.css.<body> with: welcome-modal, family-setup-modal (if multi-user), app shell, content modals.<script type="module"> with Firebase imports (if needed), state, render, the detail-patternsfunctions from assets/detail-patterns.js.
VALIDATION: index.html opens directly in a browser without a server and renders the empty welcome modal with daily ornament + time-of-day greeting. FALLBACK: If something blocks rendering, fix it before adding features.
============================================================ === PHASE 3: APPLY DETAIL PATTERNS === ============================================================
Layer these in. Each is described in assets/detail-patterns.js:
| Pattern | Where it goes |
|---|---|
| Daily rotating ornament | Brand mark (top-left) + welcome-modal mark. Call applyDailyOrnament() on boot + setInterval(60_000). |
| Time-of-day greeting | Italic Playfair line above the welcome-modal headline. |
| Daily quote | Below the sign-in button or somewhere persistent the user sees on each visit (footer ribbon, settings panel). |
| Editorial cards | Title in Playfair italic, metadata as inline byline with · separators, no pill backgrounds. Sage rail on hover, terracotta rail on "meaningful". |
| Field Notes detail modal | Italic serif numerals 01/02/03 for sub-items, hairline dividers, memo-line input. |
| Day-varying empty states | Pull a line from EMPTY_STATES[zoneKey] by dayIndex(). |
| Toast personality variants | Use celebrationLine({...}) instead of generic "+1 pt for X". |
| Page-load orchestration | Add .first-paint class to the board on first render, strip after 900ms. |
| Streak milestones | If the app has any streak/count, use streakOrnament(n) and isStreakMilestone(n). |
| iOS-aware voice | Use setupVoiceInput({...}) — auto-hides the mic on iOS WebKit. |
| Mobile touch targets | Wrap icon-button styles in @media (hover: none) { min-width: 40px; min-height: 40px; }. |
For each pattern: write it, then verify it renders + works.
VALIDATION: Open the running app at 1400px AND 390px. Check that the editorial details actually show. Touch targets must be ≥40px on mobile. FALLBACK: If a pattern doesn't fit the app's data model (e.g., no "meaningful" concept), skip it rather than forcing it.
============================================================ === PHASE 4: FIREBASE WIRING (optional) === ============================================================
If the user wants sync, follow assets/firebase-deploy.md:
firebase projects:create + register a Web app + grab SDK configfirebase.json, firestore.rules, .firebasercfirebase deploy --only hosting,firestore:rulesVALIDATION: Live URL works, sign-in flow completes, a test write to Firestore succeeds. FALLBACK: If any step blocks, write a static localStorage-only version first and ship that. Firebase can be added later without disturbing the UI.
============================================================ === PHASE 5: CUSTOM DOMAIN (optional) === ============================================================
Only proceed if user confirmed DNS provider in pre-flight.
customDomains API to register the subdomainrequiredDnsUpdates.desired — extract CNAME + TXT recordsaws route53 CLIHOST_ACTIVE + CERT_ACTIVEauthorizedDomains listVALIDATION: https://<custom.domain> loads with a green padlock. FALLBACK: If cert provisioning takes >40 min, hand off to the user with a watch command and the current status; don't block.

After completing, append one entry to ~/.claude/skills/editorial-app-craft/LEARNINGS.md:
## <YYYY-MM-DD> — <app name + key decisions>
- **What worked:** <pattern that landed especially well, or a setup step that was smooth>
- **What was awkward:** <step that needed retries — Firebase auth provider, iOS Safari quirk, DNS, etc.>
- **Suggested patch:** <one concrete improvement — e.g., "default to Route 53 path detection",
"add explicit step for custom-domain authorizedDomains", "include a default 30-quote list">
- **Verdict:** [Smooth / Minor friction / Major friction]~30 seconds. Free. No account. Every finding cites a rule and a line of evidence.
