🟢 Trusted
No high-risk patterns surfaced by the deep scan — automated capability review, not behavioral proof.

The skill seems to be a knowledge compilation and memory management tool, with authentication and encryption in place.

⚠ Flagged for review — coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.
