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.

Conditions that require another skill

• teams that need a vendor-supported SLA
• production agents without a repository review
• The SKILL.md is a router that delegates to static files not fully shown in the excerpt; the actual workflow content is external, but the structure and manifest make the intent clear.
• No OpenAgentSkill engagement data yet
• Financial research output is not financial advice; require human review before any live investment decision
• The skill depends on internet access for Crossref searches and DOI/PMID lookups; offline usage is not covered.
