Validation plan

What the agent should do next

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

Do not use when

Conditions that require another skill

• teams that need a vendor-supported SLA
• production agents without a repository review
• SKILL.md lacks explicit setup/installation instructions for the required Python libraries and CLI tools (e.g., pip install pypdf pdfplumber reportlab pypdfium2, apt-get install poppler-utils qpdf).
• High-risk permission hints: Shell or command execution
• Permission surface may require sandboxing
• The main SKILL.md does not cover all mentioned features (watermark, encrypt) with examples; these are deferred to REFERENCE.md, which may reduce discoverability for basic use cases.
