Pre-install eval
news-aggregator 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.
manual review
Require human approval before installing into a real workspace.
Required gates
Checks an agent must pass before install
Task fit
94
Task wording matches this skill metadata.
- Evaluate news-aggregator before installing it in an agent workflow
- research
- Research agents workflows; Claude Code teams; builders willing to evaluate younger projects
Install path
92
Install handoff is available.
- npx skills add sandbaseai/sandbase-skills --skill news-aggregator
Install command safety
92
standard package or runtime install path
- npx skills add sandbaseai/sandbase-skills --skill news-aggregator
Trust score
71
Potentially useful, but at least one trust signal needs human inspection.
- Manual review
- 68 GitHub stars
- Apache-2.0
Audit score
75
Needs review
- The skill relies on the SandBase gateway for tool invocation, which is an external dependency not detailed in the skill itself. This is not a security risk but may affect portability.
Agent safety gate
59
Usable candidate, but the agent should surface permission and audit notes before installation.
- Require human approval before installing into a real workspace.
- The skill relies on the SandBase gateway for tool invocation, which is an external dependency not detailed in the skill itself. This is not a security risk but may affect portability.

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
- The skill relies on the SandBase gateway for tool invocation, which is an external dependency not detailed in the skill itself. This is not a security risk but may affect portability.
- Quality score needs review
- GitHub adoption: 68 GitHub stars
- Stars/forks activity: 68 stars, 3 forks; issue activity unavailable in current metadata
