Second scanner: NVIDIA SkillSpector
SkillSpector found no issues but could not fully inspect the package, usually because SKILL.md refers to a file that is not present, so it fails closed to CAUTION instead of SAFE. Read it as "not fully checked", not as a finding. How the two scanners compare across the whole corpus: Two scanners, one corpus.
What this skill does
Handles annotated matrices in single-cell analysis, .h5ad and Zarr files, and integration with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.

- BSD-3-Clause license
- Compatibility
- Requires Python 3.12+ and anndata; uv for installation. Optional dask/lazy extras for lazy I/O; openpyxl for Excel, loompy for legacy Loom, and provider-specific fsspec adapters for remote stores. Network required for installation and remote data only.
SKILL.md covers: AnnData · Overview · When to Use This Skill · Installation · Lazy I/O and dask-backed operations · Quick Start · Creating an AnnData object · Minimal creation · With metadata · Reading data · Native formats (read_h5ad/read_zarr remain at top-level) · Other formats: prefer anndata.io (top-level imports are deprecated)

What we checked
- Static analyzer. Pattern rules over SKILL.md and bundled files: known-bad commands, exfiltration URLs, secrets, obfuscation.
- Bytecode analyzer.
- Pipeline analyzer.
- Correlation analyzer.
- Behavioral analyzer. Checks what the skill asks the agent to do against what its description claims it does.
- Trigger analyzer. Looks for instructions that fire on conditions the user did not ask for.
What we did not check
- Runtime behaviour. The skill was not executed; findings come from reading its files.
- Anything fetched at install or run time, including remote scripts, package dependencies, and URLs the skill tells the agent to open.
- Content the analyzers cannot read: images, binaries, and some non-English text.
- Known scanner bypass classes. See the methodology and limitations page.
