Analysis summary
Writing Skills is a community-maintained skill from obra/superpowers. Anomity scores its risk at 50 out of 100 (medium).
Writing Skills is the meta-skill from the Superpowers plugin: it is the skill the agent uses when the task is to create a new skill, edit an existing skill, or verify a skill works before it ships. It encodes the structure that every other Superpowers skill follows — frontmatter, description, trigger conditions, body content, and any associated reference material — and provides the verification steps that confirm a new skill is wired into the plugin correctly.
Functionally, the skill reads existing skills as examples and templates and writes new or edited skill files into the plugin's skill directory. It does not request shell execution, network access, or credentials, and it does not invoke other skills — it produces them.
The skill is community trust and declares only filesystem read and write capabilities, which produce a routine risk signal and do not match any dangerous combination. Its practical importance is structural: because every other Superpowers skill is created through this skill, it is the right place to validate conventions, enforce naming, and catch trigger-condition mistakes that would otherwise cause a new skill to silently never activate.
Why this entry scored 50 out of 100
This profile starts at the catalog's neutral base of 50. Because the entry is community-maintained, trust adjusts the score by -10. Declared high-risk capabilities add +10 (capped at +30). It matches no dangerous capability combinations. The clamped result is 50, placing it in the medium band.
