Stop

An automatic check that runs when the agent finishes a response. It starts a Python program with a gate option to check whether the agent should continue working.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as an end-of-response hook in an agent configuration. It runs the referenced autopilot check after each completed response.
Why use it?
It can catch unfinished work at the point where the agent is about to stop. The provided description does not explain what conditions the check evaluates.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills

Or install synthesis-skills, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 55 skills, 2 hooks.

Security

Grade A, and why

Stop scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the commands this hook runs, not an audit. A hook is shell that executes on your machine at the event it names, which is why every command in it is printed with what was found.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

Stop is a hook published in the GitHub repository synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills (17 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. Its token cost is not measured: a hook is shell that never enters the context. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
