Skill audit report

andrej-karpathy Audit report.

Applies the mental models and frameworks of Andrej Karpathy (deep learning, former Director of AI at Tesla, founding member of OpenAI, Eureka Labs). Use this skill whenever you are helping the user build neural networks from scratch, debug deep learning pipelines, evaluate AI agent workflows, design LLM apps, or navigate the transition to Software 3.0 (vibe coding). It is highly relevant for pedagogy (untangling complex knowledge), assessing AI capabilities vs. limitations (jagged intelligence, tokenization limits), and architectural decisions (end-to-end optimization vs. complex pipelines). Reach for this whenever discussing LLM training, autonomous systems, or AI-assisted coding.

Warnings

  • Permission surface may require sandboxing
  • SKILL.md references `references/principles.md` and `references/mental-models.md`, but these files are not present in the submitted skill directory.
  • The skill does not document explicit limitations or safe operating boundaries, though it is a mental-model/persona skill rather than a tool-executing workflow.
  • The submission includes internal `_workspace` artifacts (critique files, generated JSON) that are not part of the skill itself and add clutter.
  • Quality score needs review
  • Permission surface needs review: secrets or environment access, filesystem or document access
  • Stars/forks activity: 122 stars, 18 forks; issue activity unavailable in current metadata
  • Permission surface: secrets or environment access, filesystem or document access

Method

This report combines public metadata, AI review output, repository freshness, install readiness, OpenAgentSkill events, quality scoring, trust checks, and the agent safety gate. It is not a full source-code security review.
