varg-ai Eval
============

Status: failed
Score: 55/100
Risk: high
Decision: do_not_auto_install
Policy: block
Reason: Install path: No install command or repository handoff is available.

Install:


Required checks:
- PASS Task fit: Task wording matches this skill metadata.
- FAIL Install path: No install command or repository handoff is available.
- PASS Install command safety: standard package or runtime install path
- FAIL Trust score: Potentially useful, but at least one trust signal needs human inspection.
- WARN Audit score: Needs review
- FAIL Agent safety gate: This skill should not be selected by an agent without explicit human security review.
- PASS License clarity: MIT
- FAIL Permission surface: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution

Warnings:
- Audit score: Needs review
- High-risk permission hints: Shell or command execution, Secrets or environment access
- Dependency or permission surface needs review
- Permission surface may require sandboxing
- Financial research output is not financial advice; require human review before any live investment decision
- The self-update mechanism (`npx -y skills update`) fetches and executes code from a remote source, which could be a supply chain risk if the repository is compromised. However, this is a common pattern and not a critical flaw.
- The skill instructs writing credentials to `~/.varg/credentials` and appending to `.env`, which is standard but should be done with caution (file permissions are set correctly).
- Low GitHub adoption signal
- Financial research output is not financial advice; require human review before any live investment decision.
- Quality score needs review
- Permission surface needs review: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution
- GitHub adoption: 21 GitHub stars

Validation plan:
1. Inspect repository, README/SKILL.md, license, and recent commits before production use.
2. Install in an isolated workspace or sandbox with no production secrets available.
3. Run the smallest representative task and record files touched, commands run, network access, and outputs.
4. Compare the selected skill against at least one alternative when the eval status is review or failed.
5. Promote only after the agent reports a successful verification result and unresolved warnings are accepted.

Do not use when:
- teams that need a vendor-supported SLA
- production agents without a repository review
- Low GitHub adoption signal
- The self-update mechanism (`npx -y skills update`) fetches and executes code from a remote source, which could be a supply chain risk if the repository is compromised. However, this is a common pattern and not a critical flaw.
