Quality checklist

  • Describes the subject: yes
  • Names a style: yes
  • Specifies lighting: yes
  • Specifies camera or composition: yes
  • Sets quality or detail: yes
  • Gives size, duration or parameters: yes

The checklist is automatic and applies the same rules to every prompt. It checks structure, not whether the output is good. Prompt scores aren't comparable with tool scores. How we rank

Security

Scanned Nov 4, 2026 at the text shown on this page, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
