Confirmed finding summary

No confirmed security findings

The completed audit recorded no confirmed security findings. This is not proof that the Skill has no side effects.

Installation context

Historical evidence

This report may not describe the currently installable artifact. Open the current Skill page for install guidance.

Open current Skill page

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

Static analysis reported a very high score, but review found many false positives from design terminology, Markdown command examples, and public template URLs. The confirmed risks are legitimate but sensitive: scripts load local API keys, call Gemini services with prompts or images, and write generated assets to local paths. No prompt injection attempt or confirmed malicious intent was found.

Capability review items (5)
Medium
External AI API Calls for Design Generation
The logo, CIP, and icon generators use Gemini API clients and send user prompts, brand context, and in CIP image-editing mode user-provided logo images to external Google AI services. This is core functionality, but users must understand that design inputs and uploaded brand assets may leave the local environment.
The code initializes Gemini clients with API keys and calls generate_content for user supplied design prompts. This is expected functionality, but it confirms third-party data transfer risk.
Medium
Local Environment File Loading for API Keys
Multiple generators load .env files from the skill directory and from ~/.claude paths, then read GEMINI_API_KEY or GOOGLE_API_KEY. This is a common configuration pattern, but it accesses local secret material and should be disclosed.
The .env path list and os.environ assignments are direct evidence of local secret loading. The code does not show broad exfiltration, but it handles credentials.
Medium
Generated Asset Writes to User Selected Paths
The scripts create output directories and write generated PNG, SVG, or HTML files. This is expected for asset generation, but user-controlled output paths can overwrite local files if the user provides an existing path.
The file write paths are visible and are part of the advertised export workflow. Risk depends on user selected output values, so severity is moderate rather than high.
Low
Documentation Command Examples Flagged as Execution
Many external command findings are Markdown examples showing how a user can run Python scripts or Chrome screenshot commands. They are not executed automatically by the skill instructions.
The flagged lines are inside documentation code fences or workflow instructions. They still deserve disclosure because users may run them, but the scanner overstated automatic execution risk.
Low
Hardcoded Public Resource URLs in Templates
Template references include public CDN or image placeholder URLs for Chart.js, Google Fonts, and sample background images. This is low risk, but generated HTML can make network requests when opened unless assets are vendored.
The URLs are visible in HTML templates and documentation. They are not hidden endpoints, but they can cause normal browser network activity.

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 (1)
Low
Keyword-Based Crypto, C2, and SAM Alerts Are False Positives
The weak cryptography, C2 keyword, and Windows SAM alerts appear to come from design terms, color words, model names, and ordinary output labels. No evidence found of cryptographic routines, command-and-control behavior, or Windows credential database access.
Targeted review found design data, display labels, and routing documentation at representative flagged locations. No semantic evidence supports malware or credential-database behavior.

Verify and export

The manifest and lockfile bind install artifacts to cryptographic hashes. This integrity claim is separate from the security assessment.
