Installation context

Check the current Skill page

This page summarizes report evidence only. The Skill page provides the canonical install advisory.

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

All 27 static findings are false positives caused by code-formatted prose, CSS examples, read-only search guidance, or a defensive prompt-injection rule. However, SKILL.md includes an explicit execute mode that delegates source modification, conflicting with its read-only description and hard rules. Publication should disclose and constrain this mode.

Confirmed security concerns (1)

RISK-001 Medium
SKILL.md:22-23SKILL.md:96-97
Delegated Source Modification Conflicts With Read-Only Boundary
The skill claims source analysis is read-only, but execute delegates plan implementation and reconcile updates plan files. This expands behavior beyond the declared boundary.
The hard rules state that only plan files may change, while the execute variant explicitly dispatches implementation in a worktree. The contradiction is direct.

Remediation

Suggested fixes recorded by this audit. Applying them is the maintainer’s responsibility.

  1. FIX-001
    Medium
    The execute and reconcile variants conflict with the stated read-only boundary.
    Remove mutating variants or revise the description and hard rules to require explicit approval before any delegated source changes.
  2. FIX-002
    Medium
    Delegated execution lacks explicit command, permission, and cleanup boundaries.
    Document allowed operations, require diff review, prohibit credential access, and define isolated worktree cleanup before offering execute mode.
