Automated summary

Converts a plain-English request into a bounded JARVIS work packet (intent, risk, owner gates, allowed files, verification, rollback) through the hermes_cli CLI without executing anything.

Strengths

  • Produces a structured, reviewable planning artifact before any action is taken
  • Bakes in risk classification and owner-gate checkpoints rather than leaving them implicit
  • Explicitly scopes allowed files and includes a rollback path
  • Routes RC2+ packets to a different worker for review, enforcing separation of duties

Limitations

  • Requires the hermes_cli.jarvis_prime Python module to be installed and configured
  • The skill never explains what RC2/RC4 mean or how gates are defined; that policy lives in the project
  • It does not validate whether the plan is sound — it bounds and formats the request, it does not execute or test it
When to use it

Use it when an owner describes work in plain English and you need a bounded, gate-checked work packet before handing anything to a builder.

When not to use it

Do not use it to merge, deploy, publish, or perform Android gestures, nor when the hermes_cli.jarvis_prime module is unavailable.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score85/100

The skill only packetizes requests and explicitly forbids execution of owner-gated actions, but it does invoke bash and a Python module, which are powerful tools. No destructive or exfiltration instructions were found.

Findings
  • •Uses bash to invoke a Python CLI without declaring any allowed tools in the skill metadata.
How this analysis is made

Examples

Bounded change request
Use jarvis-packetize to turn this into a work packet: 'Add rate limiting to the public /search endpoint and update its docs.' Show me the packet in markdown with risk level and allowed files.
Gate check before building
Packetize this request and run --validate and --gate-check on it: 'Refactor the auth middleware to drop the legacy token format.' If it comes back RC4, stop and list what needs owner approval.
Scoping a risky request
Turn 'migrate the sessions table to the new schema' into a JARVIS packet with verification steps and a rollback plan, and tell me which worker should review it.

jarvis-packetize

Use when the owner describes work in plain English and you need a bounded, reviewable, gate-compatible packet before any execution.

Steps

  1. Run the packetizer:
    python -m hermes_cli.jarvis_prime packetize "<request>" --markdown
    
  2. Validate and gate-check:
    python -m hermes_cli.jarvis_prime packet "<request>" --validate
    python -m hermes_cli.jarvis_prime packet "<request>" --gate-check
    
  3. If the packet is RC4/blocked, stop — it is plan-only. Do not execute owner-gated actions; surface them for the owner.
  4. Hand the packet to a builder; route review to a different worker for RC2+.

Never

  • Never merge/deploy/publish or perform Android gestures from this skill.
  • Never widen allowed_files or target main/master.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/jarvis-packetize-mrx3y00v/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/jarvis-packetize-mrx3y00v' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/jarvis-packetize-mrx3y00v/download' --output '.skill-downloads/jarvis-packetize-mrx3y00v/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/jarvis-packetize-mrx3y00v/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/jarvis-packetize-mrx3y00v/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/jarvis-packetize-mrx3y00v'

openskills read 'jarvis-packetize-mrx3y00v'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/jarvis-packetize-mrx3y00v/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
