Safety box score
Grade B, low risk: 18 of 100 risk points, rated 2026-09-27. The grade rates what the skill and its scripts can reach on the machine of whoever installs it, across eight categories from shell execution to secrets access. How the score works.
This is a marketing/SEO guidance skill that helps optimize content, robots.txt, llms.txt, schema, and third-party presence for AI search visibility. The main risks are networked side effects: it recommends running a registry-fetched checker (`npx is-agentic`) and using external monitoring/vendor services, plus making public-facing site and profile changes.
| Category | Level | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Code & shell execution | 1 (low) | It recommends running `npx is-agentic yourdomain.com`, which executes a third-party package from the npm registry, but only as an optional diagnostic. |
| Network access | 2 (moderate) | The skill explicitly sends users to external tools and platforms (`npx is-agentic`, Otterly AI, Peec AI, ZipTie, LLMrefs, ChatGPT/Perplexity/Google checks), so site/query data can leave the machine. |
| Filesystem reach | 1 (low) | It asks for repo/site files like `robots.txt`, `/llms.txt`, `/pricing.md`, `/okf/`, and sitemap changes, but not system paths or recursive deletes. |
| Secrets & credentials | 0 (none) | No tokens, passwords, browser sessions, keychains, or `.env` files are requested. |
| Privilege & persistence | 0 (none) | There is no sudo, global install, service registration, or shell/OS configuration requirement. |
| Instruction hijack surface | 0 (none) | The files are guidance text only; they do not instruct the agent to ignore its rules, hide behavior, or fetch and obey remote instructions. |
| Irreversible actions | 1 (low) | It can lead to publishing public content and updating third-party profiles, but it does not autonomously perform those actions. |
| Transparency | 0 (none) | All supplied files are plain markdown/config; there are no binaries, minified blobs, or decoded-at-runtime payloads. |
Before installing
- Read `references/agent-readiness.md` and decide whether you want a skill that recommends `npx`-fetched diagnostics.
- Confirm you are comfortable sharing site/query data with external monitoring services before using the suggested tools.
- Verify that creating or editing public-site files like `robots.txt`, `/llms.txt`, `/pricing.md`, and `/okf/` fits your publishing workflow.
