parse_contributing_files documented that callers depend on None vs [], because a parse failure returning [] would silently disable the check. Only check 8 honoured it; checks 4/5 (skill-audit) and 3/4 (agent-audit) used a truthiness test, so an unreadable block disabled them without a word. Two live corpus entries were skipping this way. A sweep of all 32 sources.md found 134 entries, exactly 2 parsing to None, both in gitea-files: one heading carried an inline parenthetical that defeated both regexes, and one (none) was written without its leading bullet. Also pins EMPTY_SOURCE_KEYS_RE to the two indents parse_source_keys actually reads. agent-audit had no INFO tier at all, so it gains one rather than reporting a check that could not run as a FAIL.

scripts/
Executable code bundled with this skill. Agents run scripts in this directory to perform repeatable operations rather than reinventing the logic each run.
When to add a script
Add a script when agents independently reinvent the same logic across runs — building the same parser, chart, or validation routine from scratch each time. Bundle it here once, tested and reliable.
Script requirements (agentskills.io)
Scripts must be designed for non-interactive, agentic execution:
- No interactive prompts — agents run in non-interactive shells. Accept all input via flags, env vars, or stdin. A script that blocks on TTY input hangs indefinitely.
- Expose
--help— this is how agents learn your script's interface. Keep the output concise; it enters the agent's context window. - Structured output — write data (JSON, CSV, TSV) to stdout. Write progress, warnings, and diagnostics to stderr.
- Idempotent — prefer "create if not exists" over "create and fail on duplicate". Agents may retry on failure.
- Meaningful exit codes —
0for success, non-zero for failure. Use distinct codes for different failure types; document them in--help. - Dry-run support — add
--dry-runfor destructive operations.
Self-contained scripts
Bundle dependencies inline so the agent can run the script with a single command.
Python (PEP 723 + uv):
# /// script
# dependencies = ["requests>=2.31,<3"]
# requires-python = ">=3.11"
# ///
import requests
uv run scripts/my-script.py
