terraform-ingest-ingest — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited terraform-ingest-ingest (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.

Task Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Validate config
- [ ] Step 2: Choose ingest mode
- [ ] Step 3: Start ingestion
- [ ] Step 4: Monitor progress (if background)
- [ ] Step 5: Verify output
- [ ] Step 6: Summarize results for userterraform-ingest skills validate-config config.yamlDo not ingest if validation returns errors.
| Mode | When to use |
|---|---|
| Foreground (default) | First ingestion; user needs clear error output |
| Background | MCP server or agent should stay responsive; poll status |
Flags:
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--cleanup | Remove cloned repos after ingest |
--skip-existing | Skip git fetch if clone already exists |
--no-cache | Delete output + clone dirs before ingest |
--enable-embeddings | Override config to enable embeddings |
--no-embeddings | Override config to disable embeddings |

status | Agent action |
|---|---|
idle | No job running; offer to start ingest |
starting / running | Report phase, current/total, message; poll every 10–30s |
complete | Report modules_processed; proceed to verification |
failed | Show message and recent errors; check git auth and repo URLs |
