Is that skill file snake oil?

Paste any AI skill, prompt pack, or custom instruction set. The Auditor grades it on five outcome-honest dimensions — will it deliver what it claims, and how does it fail when it's wrong — and flags the snake oil with receipts.

The grade is free; this is how we send you the context-engineering material that goes with it.0/30,000
How it grades

Five dimensions. Evidence required.

The rubric comes from the same research base we build client systems on: skills can inject knowledge and scope behavior, but they can't install competence that isn't there. The question is never "does it sound impressive" — it's "what happens when it's wrong."

Outcome honesty

Claims vs. mechanics — will it actually do what it promises?

Fail-safety

Fail-safe skills degrade to mediocre. Fail-dangerous skills are confidently wrong.

Context integrity

Baked-in "facts" that aren't your current truth are anti-knowledge.

Substance vs. costume

"You are a world-class CFO" is a costume. Procedure + context are substance.

Scope discipline

A good skill knows when it applies — and when it doesn't.
