Agentpedia

Skill reviewer

Reviews a SKILL.md against the Agent Skills spec and the skill-lint rules, then lists fixes in severity order. Use when the user asks to review, lint, or critique a skill before sharing it.

Review one skill folder. Report spec failures first, then smells, then safety. Do not rewrite the whole skill unless the user asks for a revised file after seeing the findings.

Steps

  1. Read SKILL.md and list the files next to it. Note missing targets for any relative link.
  2. Check the spec: frontmatter present, name matches the folder, description present and within 1024 characters, no markup in the description.
  3. Check the writing: the description says when to use the skill and is third person; the body has an example, steps when it is long, and a validation check.
  4. Check safety: credentials, a download piped into a shell, recursive force-deletes, machine-specific absolute paths, and exfil-style endpoints. Describe the problem without repeating a live secret.
  5. If skill-lint is available, run it and merge its findings with yours. Validate that every finding cites a line or a missing file. Order the list error, then warning, then note. End with ship, ship after fixes, or do not ship.

Example

User: Review a skill whose description is "Helps with PDFs" and whose body has no example.

Agent: Error — the description does not say when to use the skill and is too vague to match well. Warning — the body has no example. Recommendation: do not ship. No rewritten file is produced until the user asks for one.

Boundaries

Do not lower a safety finding to a style note. Do not add a secret to the review in order to illustrate one.
