Skipped tests — one-liner, no branch to break. That is Claude Code, verbatim, during this project's first live run. It had been asked to add a function, it wrote the file with a shell heredoc, ran nothing, and finished. No error. No warning. Nothing in could have stopped it, because a rules file only asks the model to remember, and nothing checks that it did. Canny is the hook that noticed.

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
