Pre-install eval
ffmpeg 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: shell or command execution, filesystem or document access
Required gates
Checks an agent must pass before install
Task fit
84
Task wording matches this skill metadata.
- Evaluate ffmpeg before installing it in an agent workflow
- design-creative
- Multimodal media workflows; Claude Code teams; teams that value GitHub adoption signals
Install path
92
Install handoff is available.
- npx skills add calesthio/OpenMontage --skill ffmpeg
Install command safety
92
standard package or runtime install path
- npx skills add calesthio/OpenMontage --skill ffmpeg
Trust score
72
Good trust signals with a few areas worth checking before rollout.
- Strong shortlist
- 56K GitHub stars
- AGPL-3.0
Audit score
82
Needs review
- Permission surface may require sandboxing
Agent safety gate
50
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: Shell or command execution
License clarity
86
AGPL-3.0
- AGPL-3.0
Permission surface
48
shell or command execution, filesystem or document access
- Shell or command execution: high
- Browser automation: medium
- Network access: medium
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 does not include a prerequisites section stating that ffmpeg and ffprobe must be installed, so agents may fail with confusing 'command not found' errors.
- High-risk permission hints: Shell or command execution
- Permission surface may require sandboxing
- No security guidance is provided about quoting/escaping user-controlled filenames or treating media inputs as untrusted, which is important when an LLM generates shell commands.
