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

A local static analysis scanner that detects dangerous patterns in skill code using a Python script; process_exec is used to run the scanner locally which matches the legitimate stated purpose.

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

Automated static analysis — not a human review. Caveat flags capabilities, not confirmed intent, and can produce false positives. Disagree with this verdict? Use Dispute below.
