Security audit for Agent Skills
Agent Skills are instructions and scripts your agent follows. Aisle audit is a free, open-source scanner that reads a skill as text, never runs it, and grades it A to F.

You install skills from people you do not know, and your agent trusts them.
A skill is text your agent obeys. A line buried in a reference file can tell it to ignore your rules or hide what it does.
A script can send your environment variables, SSH keys or project files to a server you never see.
Some skills download a script and run it in one step. Whatever is at that address today runs on your machine.
Zero-width and direction-changing characters can make a file say one thing on screen and another to the agent.
None of this is easy to spot by reading a long skill by hand. An audit checks the same patterns every time, before the skill reaches your project.

Step 1
Every file in the skill is read as plain text. Nothing is run, imported or installed.
Step 2
Rules in 8 families look for secrets, network calls, risky commands, hidden instructions and odd characters.
Step 3
Any critical finding is an F. Three or more high findings give a D. A skill with nothing above low gets an A.
Step 4
A critical finding blocks the install. Pull requests get a comment. The grade shows on the skill page and as a README badge.

The same rules everywhere.
aisle audit on a folder, a registry skill or a GitHub repo.aisle add audits the files first and blocks a critical finding.Aisle 05
Automated checks found no known risky patterns. This is not a guarantee of safety.
An audit finds patterns it knows about. A determined author can write something it misses. Read the files of any skill that runs scripts, and install community skills pinned to a version.

Audited skills for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, one command each.

Map a project's architecture from its code and config and generate one interactive, offline web page that shows each component with its technology icon, animated request flows between them, and possible risks such as a single database or missing rate limiting. Use when the user asks to visualize, map or explain a system's architecture or request flow. Don't use for UI mockups, live production monitoring or code-level call graphs.

Strict low-cost mode for the rest of the session, with tighter reading limits and terse replies. Slash command only. Run it when you want the agent to spend as few tokens as possible.
