Most static alerts are false positives caused by Markdown formatting, detector examples, placeholders, and expected CI secret references. Three static findings are confirmed, and semantic review found unredacted CI outputs, broad allowlists, mutable dependencies, and unsafe cleanup guidance. No prompt injection or live credentials were found.

These are real local capabilities that may be expected for this skill, so they require review but are not counted as confirmed malicious behavior.

Most static hits are expected Gitleaks documentation, regex examples, placeholder credentials, public URLs, and CI snippets. I confirmed one static issue where an xargs sh -c troubleshooting command can execute shell text using report-derived values. I also found a semantic risk where CI templates store unredacted secret scan reports as artifacts.

Most static findings are expected Gitleaks documentation, configuration examples, or CI templates rather than live secret access. I confirmed one unsafe troubleshooting command and added a high-confidence semantic finding for unredacted Gitleaks reports that can expose detected secrets in CI logs or artifacts. No prompt injection attempt was found in the reviewed files.

Static analysis reported many high-risk patterns, but review found they are mostly defensive Gitleaks rules, CI templates, and remediation examples rather than malicious code. No prompt injection or data exfiltration intent was found. Publication is acceptable with a warning because the CI examples execute external commands, read scan reports, upload artifacts, and include some fail-open examples.

Static false positives ignored (1)
These static matches were dismissed by semantic review or matched schema-only tokens, so they are shown for transparency but do not drive the quality score.

This is a legitimate defensive security tool for detecting hardcoded secrets. All 572 static findings are FALSE POSITIVES triggered by documentation examples, configuration placeholders, and CI/CD templates. No malicious patterns exist. The skill provides guidance for integrating Gitleaks, an established open-source secret scanning tool.
