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 flagged many shell commands, one network URL, file operations, and weak cryptography patterns in SKILL.md. Review found these are instructional examples for dependency upgrades, with weak cryptography alerts caused by ordinary words such as description or describe. The skill is publishable with a medium warning because copied commands can install packages, rewrite files, fetch remote changelogs, or remove local branches.

Capability review items (4)
Medium
Package Manager Commands Modify Dependencies
The skill shows npm, yarn, npx, and install commands that can modify dependency manifests, lock files, or installed packages. This is expected for the skill purpose, but users should review commands before execution and avoid untrusted package names.
The commands are visible in documentation blocks and directly change package state. The surrounding context is legitimate dependency upgrade guidance, so this is operational risk rather than malicious intent.
Medium
Remote Content Retrieval Example
The skill includes a curl command for reading a public React changelog. The URL is relevant to upgrade research, but remote content should be inspected before use in automation.
There is direct evidence of a network command to GitHub. It fetches public documentation and does not transmit secrets, so the risk is moderate.
Medium
File Rewriting Migration Script Example
The migration script example reads and writes matching source files while replacing React API usage. This is normal migration guidance, but broad globs can unintentionally rewrite many files.
The fs.readFileSync and fs.writeFileSync calls are explicit and operate over src/**/*.tsx. The code is illustrative, but copied use could alter project files.
Medium
Rollback Script Contains Destructive Git Commands
The rollback example uses git stash, branch checkout, and branch deletion. These commands support rollback planning, but users should verify branch names and uncommitted work first.
The shell example clearly changes repository state and can delete a branch. The commands are not hidden and match the documented rollback scenario.

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
Weak Cryptography Alerts Are False Positives
Static analysis reported weak cryptographic algorithm indicators at several lines, but the reviewed lines contain prose, front matter, test names, or package upgrade examples. No cryptographic API usage or insecure hashing implementation was found.
Manual review of the cited lines found no crypto functions or algorithm configuration. The scanner appears to match substrings inside ordinary text such as description or describe.

Verify and export

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