## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack was identified; the reviewed network and file operations support the skill catalog installer.

- **Trigger:** The welcome menu runs when the CLI starts without arguments; downloads and installation follow explicit user CLI selections.

- **Impact:** No automatic credential collection, unrelated data transfer, or unrequested account action was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T21:39:47.939Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI searches skills.sh and uses npx to cache selected external skills before distributing them to configured targets.

- **Rationale:** The flagged process execution and network access are tied to searching for and installing user-selected skills, which matches the package's stated purpose. The package does not declare install-time hooks that perform those actions.

- **Network endpoints:** skills.sh

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package's lifecycle scripts run build or tests; no install-time hook is declared., The CLI init hook only opens the welcome menu when invoked without arguments., External skill downloads run as part of the install command after skills are selected., The only identified network endpoint is skills.sh's search API, used to find external skills.

- **Evidence against:** The package launches npx to download selected external skills into its cache., The CLI can write selected skills to configured agent directories.
