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

Check the current Skill page

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

Open current Skill page

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

Most static alerts are false positives caused by Markdown backticks and fenced examples. Eight command blocks are confirmed because they invoke Claude Flow through unpinned npx or a local binary. No prompt injection or malicious intent was found.

Capability review items (8)
Medium
SKILL.md:473-497
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The shell block invokes claude-flow through npx without an exact package version. Npx can download and execute dependency code outside the skill.
Medium
SKILL.md:503-506
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The shell example directly runs the local ./claude-flow executable with substituted mode and task values. This is intentional external process execution.
Medium
SKILL.md:721-730
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The shell block invokes claude-flow through npx without an exact package version. Npx can download and execute dependency code outside the skill.
Medium
SKILL.md:912-927
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The shell block invokes claude-flow through npx without an exact package version. Npx can download and execute dependency code outside the skill.

Risk findings

Confirmed security concerns are separated from items that still need review.

No confirmed security findings were recorded for this completed audit.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    Medium
    Npx examples execute an unpinned package or the moving alpha tag.
    Pin an exact trusted Claude Flow version, document integrity verification, and require user approval before package execution.
  2. FIX-002
    Medium
    CLI examples can cause agents to launch external processes.
    Label each command as optional and require users to review substituted arguments before execution.
