SkillSeal
Test your Agent Skills before your agents do.
SKILL.md files can be syntactically valid and still be bad: a vague
description that never routes correctly, an oversized file that eats context,
a curl | sh buried in a code block, a hardcoded /Users/you/... path that
only works on your machine. SkillSeal is a local-first, offline-first CLI
that lints, scores, and routing-tests SKILL.md files — catching what a
manual read-through misses, before an agent does.
What it catches
| Category | Catches things like |
|---|---|
| Specification | Invalid frontmatter, a name that doesn't match its directory |
| Quality | Vague descriptions, oversized files, dangling file references |
| Security | rm -rf / curl | sh in a code block, secret-file reads |
| Portability | Hardcoded /Users/you/... paths, OS-specific commands |
