🟠 Risky
Significant concerns — only install if you understand the risks

The skill uses a complex workflow for translating books, but it executes scripts and uses external tools, which could be a concern if not properly validated.

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