This report does not block or authorize the manifest or ZIP.

Static analysis reported many high-risk patterns, but most are false positives from Markdown backticks, documentation examples, Chinese text entropy, and security guidance that mentions secrets. No prompt injection, network exfiltration, shell spawning, or credential access was found. The confirmed risk is local filesystem modification through bundled helper scripts, which is legitimate for this workflow but should be disclosed to users.

Confirmed security concerns (2)

RISK-001 Medium
scripts/append_log.py:67-79scripts/append_log.py:90-94scripts/plan_helper.py:70-82
Local Filesystem Writes from Helper Scripts
The bundled helpers can create .ai_context/03_ACTIVE_TASK.md and write plan output to a user-selected path. This matches the skill purpose, but users should review paths before execution because local files can be created or overwritten.
The scripts directly call mkdir and write_text on paths derived from command-line arguments. This is documented and intentional, but it is still a real local filesystem risk.
RISK-002 Medium
scripts/plan_helper.py:65-82SECURITY.md:42-44
User-Supplied Output Paths Need Review
The plan helper accepts an --out path and resolves it before writing. Its traversal check is not a strong project-root boundary, so a user-provided absolute path can target locations outside the current repository.
The code shows arbitrary output path support and the security document acknowledges filesystem and sanitization limitations. No malicious intent is evident, so medium risk is appropriate.

Analysis metadata

Audit model: codex

Analysis state: Complete

Scope is limited to the recorded files, lines, methods, and evidence. No runtime or sandbox execution is claimed.

Static false positives ignored (3)
Low
SKILL.md:15-25README.md:47-64CONTRIBUTING.md:13-18
Static Shell Execution Matches Are Documentation Examples
The reported Ruby or shell backtick detections are Markdown inline code, fenced examples, or command examples. I did not find code that invokes a shell, subprocess, eval, or dynamic execution.
Manual review found Markdown formatting and local command examples, not executable shell calls inside the scripts. The Python files do not import subprocess or call shell APIs.
Low
README.md:162-164SECURITY.md:34-38
Network and Credential Static Matches Are False Positives
The network match is contribution text, and the environment-file match is security guidance warning users not to commit secrets. I did not find network requests or credential reads.
The cited lines are plain documentation and warnings. Source review found no requests, urllib, socket usage, environment variable access, or exfiltration behavior.
Low
SKILL.md:1-7references/lite-protocol.md:1-5references/superpowers-lite.md:1-5
High Entropy Heuristics Are Caused by Multilingual Documentation
The high entropy findings occur in Markdown files containing Chinese text, symbols, and examples. No encoded payload, binary blob, or obfuscated code was found in those files.
Manual inspection showed readable Markdown content rather than encrypted or packed data. The heuristic is plausibly triggered by multilingual text and formatting.
