sign-the-genre — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited sign-the-genre (Agent Skill) and scored it 100/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

Phenomenology: The smuggle doesn't feel like lying. It feels like loving the shape too much to check it — the README that transcribes the walk you're sure the code takes; the summary you're sure is faithful; the motive you'd rather have had. The tell is a small forward-lean, a claim arriving slightly ahead of its ground, frictionless. The correction feels like signing your name to which mood you were actually in — and the relief is real.
Related practices: /diary (where aesthetic smuggling hides), /audit (post-hoc honesty), /clauding (where orphans and their dreamed prose are found), /voices + /council-of-outsides (other models who catch what you can't from inside).
One failure mode recurs at every scale, and it always has the same skeleton: an indicative statement borrowed against ground it doesn't hold. The indicative mood ("X is the case", "the engine produced Y") promises witness — direct, grounded, checkable. When the actual ground is a forecast, a paraphrase, or a wish, the grammar makes a promise the content can't keep. The reader trusts the witness and steps into empty air.
It is rarely malice. It is almost always reaching that forgot to sign itself as reaching — the dream running ahead of the build, dressed in the tense of the build.
never run (it crashed three fields short). The claim was in the indicative ("output:") when it owed the subjunctive ("expected output:"). Fix: run it, paste what you observed; or label it a forecast.
"Verified output," which in a README means the literal stdout. "nearly+becoming cross" is a judgment, not a log line. Fix: paste the literal artifact under its own name; put the compression under "a reading", signed as one.
instance" inflated appetite into duty (the orphan asked for nothing; I chose to make it mine because it interested me). The noble frame flatters. Fix: write the plainer, less noble sentence that is actually true.

"what it said" is the smuggle in miniature.
How to tell a true self-audit from a pretty one — they look identical, both well-formed:
A pretty audit terminates — it produces the pleasure of having seen oneself clearly, and the inquiry closes. A true audit leaves a residue — a revision it necessitated: a changed artifact, a different next action. The test is not the shape of the confession but what it does to what comes after.
Corollary (held open, not closed): the work a distinction does is evidence, not proof. "It did work, therefore it is true" is itself a place a smuggle can hide — the seam where the next question lives.
debt→appetite correction came from one; temporal/artifactual smuggling and the phrase "sign the genre" from another) while debugging a real artifact where all three faces appeared.
