SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Security audits are essential before adopting any new skill to prevent typosquatting, permission abuse, unsafe dependencies, prompt injections, and data leaks. This Skill Auditor provides a standardized protocol to vet skills before installation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 6-step audit protocol covering metadata validation, typosquat checks, permission analysis, dependency checks, prompt-injection scans, and network/exfiltration safeguards.
  • Pre-install gatekeeper ensures only safe, compliant skills are adopted from skills.sh, GitHub, or other sources.
  • Continuous audits for skill updates or reviews of existing SKILL.md files.

Quick Start

Run the audit flow prior to installing a new skill to enforce safety.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-auditor

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I vet agent skills before installation to prevent prompt injection?

To vet agent skills before installation, apply a structured 6-step protocol that audits metadata, permissions, dependencies, and prompts to prevent prompt injection and enforce a safety quality gate.

What is a skill auditing protocol for checking typosquatting and permission abuse?

A skill auditing protocol checks for typosquatting and permission abuse by validating metadata and analyzing permissions during skill installation, ensuring only safe, compliant skills are adopted from sources like GitHub.

How do I audit agent skills for network exfiltration and unsafe dependencies?

You audit agent skills for network exfiltration and unsafe dependencies by running a pre-install gatekeeper protocol that scans dependencies and network safeguards to mitigate data leak risks.

When should I run a security audit on an existing SKILL.md file?

You should run a security audit on an existing SKILL.md file during continuous audits when permissions change, or when evaluating skill updates, to identify and mitigate newly introduced risks.

Can I use skill auditing to check content safety and metadata validation?

Yes, you can use skill auditing to check content safety and metadata validation by applying standardized criteria for pass/fail across a 6-step protocol covering typosquat checks and prompt-injection scans.

What are the limitations of automated skill auditing for agent safety?

The limitations of automated skill auditing involve enforcing a standardized pass/fail quality gate, which requires a structured 6-step protocol and clear criteria to accurately identify risk without false negatives.
