Trust score

70

warn

Potentially useful, but at least one trust signal needs human inspection.

  • Manual review
  • 31 GitHub stars
  • Apache-2.0

Audit score

75

warn

Needs review

  • SKILL.md does not explicitly mention that access to the SandBase service is required, which may cause confusion if the agent lacks credentials or API access.

Agent safety gate

59

warn

Usable candidate, but the agent should surface permission and audit notes before installation.

  • Require human approval before installing into a real workspace.
  • SKILL.md does not explicitly mention that access to the SandBase service is required, which may cause confusion if the agent lacks credentials or API access.

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
  • Low GitHub adoption signal
  • SKILL.md does not explicitly mention that access to the SandBase service is required, which may cause confusion if the agent lacks credentials or API access.
  • The skill does not provide guidance on handling rate limits or errors from the SandBase API.
  • Quality score needs review
