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 found many command-execution and network patterns, but most are Markdown examples for Claude Flow MCP calls rather than executable code. The real risk is instructional: the skill tells users to install an external alpha package and register an MCP server, so publishing is acceptable with a warning. The weak cryptography and system reconnaissance hits were false positives caused by ordinary text, headings, and comments.

Confirmed security concerns (2)

RISK-001 Medium
SKILL.md:17-22
Instructional External Package Installation
The skill instructs users to run npm install globally and register a Claude Flow MCP server through npx. This is legitimate setup guidance, but it can execute third-party code if a user follows it.
The cited lines are a bash setup block with npm and npx commands. The risk is user-directed execution of an external package, not hidden code execution inside the skill.
RISK-002 Medium
SKILL.md:767-778
Broad Orchestration Examples Include Automated Workflows
The workflow example shows reusable orchestration with commit and scheduled triggers. This can be useful, but users should review permissions and scope before enabling automated agents.
The example is clearly documentation, but automated triggers can cause repeated agent actions if copied into a live workflow. No malicious behavior is present.

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.

Markdown Code Fences Flagged as Shell Execution
The static analyzer reported many Ruby or shell backtick findings, but the evidence is Markdown code fences and JavaScript examples. These are not executable files and do not run when the skill is loaded.
Line-number inspection shows fenced Markdown blocks and sample MCP calls. There is no Ruby file, shell script, or dynamic command execution code in the scanned file.

Weak Cryptography Alerts Are Text Matches
The weak cryptography alerts align with ordinary prose, comments, or identifiers such as description, design, development, or deploy. No cryptographic algorithm use was found in the cited locations.
The reviewed lines do not contain MD5, SHA1, DES usage, or cryptographic operations. They contain skill metadata and workflow planning text.
Low
SKILL.md:963-966
Reference Links to External Documentation
The network findings are GitHub documentation URLs in the References section. They do not perform network requests from code, but users leave the marketplace if they open them.
The cited lines are Markdown links to GitHub documentation. No code sends data to those URLs or fetches resources automatically.
Low
SKILL.md:872
System Reconnaissance Alert Is Benign Guidance
The system reconnaissance hit points to best-practice text about avoiding overlapping responsibilities. No host inspection, environment probing, or system inventory behavior was found.
The cited line is plain workflow advice. It does not invoke commands or request host, network, or account information.
