FAQ
Questions
- Is security-best-practices safe to install?
- No critical findings, some security notes. The scan covers prompt injection, hidden Unicode, remote code execution and credential access in every text file of the skill. It cannot judge intent, so read any flagged line in context before installing.
- How was this score calculated?
- Four checks of 25 points each: spec, efficiency, clarity and security. Findings take points off the check they belong to, and any critical finding caps the grade at F. The same scanner runs in your browser at proskills.dev/scan.
- Is this report current?
- It was made from commit 49f948f on 2026-10-16. If the skill has changed since, paste the new version into the scanner for a fresh score.
- I wrote this skill. Can I fix the score or have the page removed?
- Fix the findings and push. The reports are rebuilt from GitHub on a schedule, so the next run picks the change up. To have the page removed, open an issue on the ProSkills GitHub repo.
