Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • Declares what it does: failed

    No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned curiositech/some_claude_skills at 6713fc7a64.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The Cost Verification Auditor skill analyzes cost estimates and invoices, identifying potential discrepancies or areas for optimization. It can compare estimated costs against actual expenses, flag unusual spending patterns, and provide justifications for charges based on predefined rules or industry benchmarks. This helps ensure financial accuracy and identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary expenditures.

When to use it

  • Reviewing contractor bids: Evaluate a contractor's bid against historical data and market rates to identify potential overcharges.
  • Auditing monthly invoices: Automatically check invoices for compliance with agreed-upon pricing structures and terms.
  • Analyzing project budgets: Compare actual spending against the initial budget, highlighting variances and suggesting corrective actions.
  • Validating expense reports: Verify employee expense reports by comparing them to company policies and available receipts.

Key capabilities

  • Cost comparison against estimates
  • Variance analysis
  • Rule-based justification generation
  • Invoice compliance checking
  • Spending pattern identification

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this invoice [invoice data] and compare it to the original estimate."
  • "Review these contractor bids [bid data] and flag any that are significantly higher than average."
  • "Check this expense report [expense report data] for compliance with company travel policy."

Tips & gotchas

The skill's accuracy depends on the quality of the input data (estimates, invoices, etc.). Ensure data is clean and properly formatted for optimal results.
