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 many high-risk markers, but review found them to be Markdown backticks, placeholder text, and validation strings. No real shell execution, cryptographic code, network access, secret access, or prompt injection was found. The real risks are local filesystem writes during scaffolding and packaging every file under a selected skill directory.

Risk findings

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

Confirmed security concerns (2)

RISK-001 Medium
Unvalidated Skill Name and Output Path Writes
The initializer builds a target directory from CLI arguments and writes SKILL.md plus example resources there. The script does not validate skill_name before composing the path, so careless agent use could create files outside the intended location.
The file writes are direct and user-controlled through CLI arguments. The behavior is legitimate scaffolding, but missing name validation creates a real filesystem safety concern.
RISK-002 Medium
Skill Packaging Archives All Files Recursively
The packager walks the whole skill directory and adds every file to the .skill archive. This can accidentally include secrets, large files, generated output, or symlinked files if they are present in the skill folder.
The recursive archive behavior is explicit in the code and has no exclusion list. It is normal for a packager, but it creates a clear accidental data exposure risk.

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 (3)
Low
Static Command Execution Findings Are Markdown False Positives
The reported Ruby or shell backtick locations are Markdown fences, inline code examples, or template text. No evidence found of subprocess, os.system, eval, or shell command execution in the executable Python files.
The cited text is documentation or static template content. The reviewed scripts do not contain APIs that execute external commands.
Low
Static Crypto and Sensitive File Findings Are Token Matches
The weak cryptography and certificate/key detections come from words such as description, metadata, allowed-tools, and example asset names. No evidence found of MD5, DES, SHA1 use, certificate parsing, or bundled key material.
The locations contain ordinary documentation and validation strings, not cryptographic functions or key files. The semantic review found no related security behavior.
Low
Static System Reconnaissance Findings Are Validation Messages
The reported reconnaissance locations are normal validation checks, examples, and documentation guidance. No evidence found of host enumeration, credential discovery, environment dumping, or network discovery behavior.
The cited code only parses SKILL.md and returns validation messages. There is no host or network reconnaissance logic.

Verify and export

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