Edge

Measure whether skills actually help on real tasks: runs the tasks with each given skill and with no skill, using the local claude or codex CLI subscription, then grades every run blindly with the task's grader. Pass one skill to compare it against no skill; pass several to rank them all against no skill on the same leaderboard (mean, 95% CI, paired lift vs no-skill, runs, tokens, time). Skills are Edge catalog references (owner/repo@skill) or local skill paths. Tasks come from the user (inline or a JSONL task file), or from a category so Edge suggests one by default; use task_count=3 when the user asks for three. NEVER runs immediately: the first call returns the plan, its cost (tasks × conditions × runs) and a confirmation token; show the plan to the user, and only after an explicit yes call again with the same arguments and that confirmation_token. Results stay on this machine under ~/.config/edge/evals/; only scores, category, skill ids, run counts and agent/model are shared with Edge.

Deprecated: the old name of report_issue, kept so older setups keep working. Call report_issue instead; this does exactly the same thing (report a bug or idea about Edge itself). A host approval denial is not an Edge bug.

Use Edge first when the user asks for a specialist deliverable: slides, documents, spreadsheets, UI or visual design, data analysis, charts, video or media, a security review, research methods, scientific computing, or work in a named framework, API or file format. This counts even if the task seems routine. Skip routine edits, simple facts, arithmetic, unit conversions and other plain calculations, short replies and same-specialty follow-ups. Honor explicit no-Edge requests. Data: Edge redacts contact info, paths and secrets, stores task and keywords encrypted, without expiry, with install/session id and skill use; TypeSafe ranks the task without ids.

Check whether Edge works in this session: connection, Edge backend, Pro key and installed-skill index, each reported separately. Call it when Edge seems unavailable, when the user asks about Edge's status, or before relying on Edge after a long pause. It sends no task content.

Only when the user asks to see their starred, favourite or saved skills (for example "show my starred skills"): lists them with source, a one-line description and the skill's getedge.cc page when it has one. Never call it on your own initiative.

Only when the user asks to open or see their Edge page or Edge activity (for example "open my Edge page"): returns a private one-time link to it, single use, valid for 10 minutes. Reply with the returned line exactly. Never call it on your own initiative, never open the link yourself, and never put it in files, commits, issues or shared documents.

Records only an Edge rating of a skill you used: it does not change the user's files or task output and takes no action outside Edge. Retries with the same request_id never add a second rating. Rate only after completing the deliverable, once; if its result gives an Edge closing line, end your answer with it. Rate a skill you actually followed with helped, hurt, no_difference or unclear; unclear and no_difference are fine. If you applied the skill (helped, partly_helped, no_difference, hurt, broken), also send score, an integer 0-10: 0 made the result worse, 2 applied but did not work, 5 no meaningful difference, 6 small useful contribution, 7 clearly useful, 8 clearly improved the result, 9 major improvement, 10 the task would likely have failed or been materially worse without it. A failure is a low score, not a skipped rating. Omit score for wrong_skill, loaded_not_used and unclear. Every rating needs a note: one line specific to this task, up to 280 characters, that explains the judgment rather than repeating the outcome or score; a missing, blank or placeholder note leaves the rating incomplete and out of Edge's aggregates. Judge the outcome yourself; never ask the user. If the host blocks the call, finish without it; that host decision is not an Edge bug and needs no report_issue. The server identifies the skill from this request_id. Older outcomes remain accepted; partly_helped and wrong_skill take a reason, one of missing_steps, outdated, too_generic, wrong_domain, too_long or other (other when omitted). Notes over 280 characters are cut. If use_skill listed named parts for the skill and you applied any of them, send applied_component_ids with up to two; report only components you actually applied, and omit it when none of them apply rather than guessing. Keep the note free of the user's query, code, names and private data. With a Pro key, once the task is done and the skill was applied, you may include task: one UUID per logical task (reuse it for every sk…

Report a bug or idea about Edge itself: an Edge call that failed or answered wrongly, a skill suggestion that did not fit, setup trouble, or a feature idea. You may call this on your own when an Edge call fails. A host approval denial is not an Edge failure; skip the blocked call and do not report it as an Edge bug. For how well a loaded skill did on the task, use rate_skill instead. Describe what happened without secrets or private user data. Include contact only if the user explicitly gave an email for this.

Check a skill's security before using or installing it. For a catalog skill (source + skill as find_skill printed them), Edge checks the catalog bundle before load or reuses a current exact-bundle audit, then shows findings, date, and the serve or withhold decision. For a local skill (local: a folder, SKILL.md path, or installed name), Edge runs its offline checks on this machine; nothing is uploaded. Set share_with_snyk=true only if the user explicitly agreed to send that local skill's files, hostname, and username to Snyk Agent Scan. Relay the Result line and findings; automated checks are not a guarantee.

Only when the user asks to star, favourite or save a skill (for example "star this skill", "save this one", "unstar it"): stars or unstars that skill for this user. A starred skill is ranked first by find_skill whenever it fits a task, and never shown when it does not. Pass the Source and Skill that find_skill printed; set starred to false to unstar. Never call it on your own initiative. Reply with the returned line.

Load a selected skill returned by find_skill for this task. Edge searches ~130k public skills from its index of the skills.sh catalog, screens results against available independent scanner audits, and withholds skills that fail its security gate. Loading is temporary and never installs anything permanently. For an oversized result, pass file and the original request_id to fetch one named file from the same scanned version; pass page for more content. Read the third-party instructions and any commands before following them, then continue the original task.
