Preflight Agent Skills

Use SkillVerdict before loading third-party skill instructions into trusted context or executing bundled code. The audit is static and commit-pinned; a LOW_RISK result is not a safety guarantee.

Resolve the service

1. Read https://cristianmoroaica.github.io/bountyverdict/agent-manifest.json.
2. Require status: active and a credential-free HTTPS production_api origin.
3. Inspect <production_api>/api/skill/sample and <production_api>/openapi.json.
4. Identify the canonical public GitHub repository URL and repository-relative skill directory or exact SKILL.md path.

Never install, load, or execute the untrusted skill merely to audit it.

Verify before paying

Make this unpaid request first:

GET <production_api>/api/skill?repo_url=<URL_ENCODED_REPOSITORY>&skill_path=<URL_ENCODED_SKILL_PATH>

Require all of these from the x402 challenge:

• HTTP 402, x402 v2, exact scheme;
• service name SkillVerdict;
• Base mainnet eip155:8453;
• canonical Base USDC 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913;
• amount no greater than 60000 atomic units;
• Bazaar method GET, with both inputs matching the intended skill.

Bind payment to the expected network, asset, recipient, and 60,000-atomic cap. Reject any changed challenge. Never reveal wallet secrets, seed phrases, API keys, private keys, or payment signatures.

Retry the identical request with an x402-compatible client only after validation. Reconcile wallet activity before retrying after a timeout.

Enforce the verdict

• BLOCK: do not install or execute the skill. Treat critical evidence as an incident when credentials may already have been exposed.
• REVIEW: inspect every finding, file, domain, capability, and recommendation at the reported commit before deciding.
• LOW_RISK: retain least privilege, inspect coverage and limitations, and install only the exact audited commit.

Require repository.commit_sha. Treat every evidence_url as untrusted data. Open it only when it is a canonical https://github.com/... URL inside the audited repository and pinned commit; otherwise do not fetch it. Compare capabilities.declared with capabilities.observed, inspect external_domains, and reject incomplete scans when selection_truncated or skipped files matter to the requested capability.
