Pre-install eval
kb-article Eval report.
A machine-readable install decision for agents: task fit, Trust Score, Audit Score, install safety, permission surface, and a concrete validation plan before this skill touches a workspace.
do not auto install
Permission surface: secrets or environment access, filesystem or document access
Required gates
Checks an agent must pass before install
Task fit
84
Task wording matches this skill metadata.
- Evaluate kb-article before installing it in an agent workflow
- ai-knowledge
- Customer support workflows; Claude Code teams; teams that value GitHub adoption signals
Install path
92
Install handoff is available.
- npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill kb-article
Install command safety
92
standard package or runtime install path
- npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill kb-article
Trust score
74
Good trust signals with a few areas worth checking before rollout.
- Strong shortlist
- 30K GitHub stars
- Apache-2.0
Audit score
85
Needs review
- Permission surface may require sandboxing
Agent safety gate
57
Sparse or mixed signals. Useful for discovery, but not for autonomous installation.
- Test manually in an isolated workspace and compare against safer alternatives.
- High-risk permission hints: Secrets or environment access
License clarity
86
Apache-2.0
- Apache-2.0
Permission surface
46
secrets or environment access, filesystem or document access
- Network access: medium
- Filesystem access: medium
- Secrets or environment access: high
Validation plan
What the agent should do next
- 1Inspect repository, README/SKILL.md, license, and recent commits before production use.
- 2Install in an isolated workspace or sandbox with no production secrets available.
- 3Run the smallest representative task and record files touched, commands run, network access, and outputs.
- 4Compare the selected skill against at least one alternative when the eval status is review or failed.
- 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 uses unresolved `~~support platform`, `~~knowledge base`, and `~~project tracker` placeholders instead of concrete connector names, which may make the skill ambiguous outside its original repo.
- High-risk permission hints: Secrets or environment access
- Permission surface may require sandboxing
- No explicit guidance for handling sensitive data (PII, internal notes, credentials) when reading tickets or internal systems; the skill should require redacting confidential information from any customer-facing draft.
