External Agent Pack Audit
Use this skill before importing or adapting a third-party agent, skill, command, hook, plugin, or marketplace pack.
Do not install or execute unknown packs just to inspect them. Read repository metadata and files first.
Audit Scope
Check:
- license and attribution requirements;
- install scripts and hooks;
- commands that execute code;
- network access and API keys;
- generated files and caches;
- secret handling;
- compatibility with Codex skill format;
- overlap with existing Engineering Bible skills;
- whether adaptation is safer than direct import.
Decision Options
Choose one:
- direct install: only when the pack is compatible, trusted, and requested;
- Codex adaptation: rewrite the behavior as a local
SKILL.md; - reference only: document the idea without installing;
- reject: unsafe, unclear license, or too much runtime coupling.
Evidence
Use current sources:
- upstream README;
- license file;
- plugin metadata;
- install scripts;
- relevant source files;
- local validation output if cloned for inspection.
