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
• Skill references `../nature-shared/journal-formats/nature-machine-intelligence.md`, a file outside the skill directory. This dependency may not be available in all deployment contexts.
• No OpenAgentSkill engagement data yet
• SKILL.md uses YAML folded scalar `>-` for description, which is valid but may be misinterpreted by some parsers; consider using a plain string or block scalar.
• Production credentials, payments, or irreversible account changes without explicit human review
