Proof Card Forge#

Use this skill when a builder wants a small trust badge that shows a skill was checked before publish.

When To Use#

• A skill audit JSON exists and needs a clean proof card.
• A GitHub README, landing page, or ClawHub listing needs a visual trust signal.
• A release needs a stable score, grade, status, and install link in one asset.
• A builder wants a proof card without hand-editing SVG.

Workflow#

1. Locate the audit JSON from Skill Package Doctor, or collect the skill name, score, grade, and URL.
2. Run the bundled script:

bash

python3 scripts/proof_card.py \
  --audit skill-doctor.json \
  --out-svg proof-card.svg \
  --out-md proof-card.md \
  --out-json proof-card.json

1. If there is no audit file, pass --name, --score, --grade, and --url.
2. If you intentionally replace existing artifacts, add --force.
3. Review the generated SVG text, score, and link before sharing.
4. Use the Markdown snippet in GitHub and the raw SVG in landing pages.
5. Keep the card honest: refresh it after every material skill change.
6. Read references/source-manifest.json only when you need package provenance.

Review Rules#

• Do not show publish-ready unless the latest audit supports it.
• Escape all names, descriptions, and links before rendering SVG or Markdown.
• Keep proof cards small, legible, and embeddable.
• Use plain labels: score, status, grade, version, and checked date.
• Link the card to the skill page, release page, or public audit artifact when available.
• If the score is missing, ask for the audit or mark the status as unchecked.
• Refuse accidental overwrites unless the user explicitly chooses --force.

Output#

Return:

• proof-card SVG path
• Markdown badge snippet
• JSON summary path when generated
• any missing inputs or honesty warnings
• suggested placement for README, landing page, and listing

Stop Conditions#

Do not create or recommend a proof card when:

• the audit says do-not-publish
• the user asks to hide known errors
• the source score or status cannot be verified and the card would imply a completed audit
