Compost

Composting reference — methods, C:N ratio, thermophilic stages, vermicomposting, troubleshooting. Use when building compost systems, optimizing decomposition...

Security Scan

The skill is a self-contained composting reference that runs a bundled shell script to print guidance; its requirements and behavior are coherent with its stated purpose.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description match the included assets: SKILL.md documents composting topics and the bundled scripts/script.sh provides command handlers for those topics. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or services are requested.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions call the included scripts/script.sh with specific subcommands (intro, ratio, methods, etc.). The instructions do not request unrelated files, system-wide configuration, or network endpoints. Running the included shell script is expected for a CLI-style reference skill.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec (instruction-only skill plus an included script). Nothing is downloaded or extracted from external URLs; the only executable is the repository's script.sh that ships with the skill.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. SKILL.md mentions an optional COMPOST_DIR configuration (default ~/.compost/) which is reasonable for storing local data; no unrelated secrets or cloud credentials are requested.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not always-enabled, does not request elevated or cross-skill configuration, and does not assert persistent system presence beyond its included script. Autonomous invocation remains platform-default but is not combined with broad privileges here.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent and self-contained: it prints composting guidance via the included scripts/script.sh and does not request credentials or external installs. Before enabling, you may (1) quickly review scripts/script.sh for any unexpected commands (e.g., network calls, file writes to sensitive paths), (2) run scripts/script.sh help locally or in a sandbox to confirm behavior, and (3) note that it may create or use a local COMPOST_DIR (~/.compost/) if you configure it. If you are uncomfortable running bundled shell scripts, inspect the file contents or run it in an isolated environment first.

Compost — Composting Science & Practice Reference

Quick-reference skill for composting methods, the science of decomposition, and practical troubleshooting.

When to Use

• Setting up a composting system (home, farm, or municipal)
• Optimizing carbon-to-nitrogen ratios for faster decomposition
• Troubleshooting compost problems (smell, slow breakdown, pests)
• Choosing between composting methods (hot, cold, vermi, bokashi)
• Understanding the microbiology and thermophilic stages
