What to review next

Boundary clause: 0 of 4 points. 4 when the description says when not to use the skill (“Not for …”, “Do not use …”, “Use … instead”).
Bundled scripts: 0 of 2 points. 2 when the skill folder ships a scripts/ folder.
Tool permissions declared: 0 of 2 points. 2 when the frontmatter declares allowed-tools.

Add declarations and bundled files when they describe the skill’s actual needs. Update the source, then request a fresh review with the changed commit or PR.

ghostwriter passes the required frontmatter check and all seven graded checks, which cover the SKILL.md format, a declared license and a commit in the last year. Those checks earn 56 of the score’s points; the rest come from description quality, instruction depth, bundled files, maintenance and curated-list citations. How the score works.
