Review findings

What is this skill asking your agent to do?

Run a review to trace sensitive access, execution, and permission patterns to specific lines.

15 explainable checks. No account needed.

Know the coverage

A first pass through the instructions.

A skill can reference other scripts, dependencies, and services. Review those separately and verify the permissions the runtime actually grants. A clean result here is only the beginning of that review.

Pattern matching focuses on English instructions and common command syntax. Context labels help interpretation; they never suppress a match or reduce its priority.

Using the reviewer

What does an Agent Skill Reviewer check?

It scans a supplied instruction file for visible patterns involving downloaded code execution, secret access, approval bypasses, destructive commands, persistent changes, and instruction overrides. Every match includes a line reference and a suggested action.

Does my SKILL.md leave the browser?

The reviewer does not upload, save, or execute your input. Local files are read in this tab. If you consent to site analytics, tool events contain completion and finding counts, never source text or filenames.

Can this prove that a skill is safe?

No. This is a static pattern checker, not a model evaluation or malware sandbox. It can miss unfamiliar, encoded, multilingual, or indirect instructions and can flag legitimate examples. Referenced scripts, dependencies, links, and actual runtime permissions need separate review.

Can I review instructions from different coding agents?

Yes. Paste Markdown or plain-text instructions from your agent workflow. The checks are text-based and do not validate product-specific configuration syntax or guarantee that an agent will enforce an instruction.
