Suspicious
medium confidence
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, declared binary ('gator'), and the npm package @metamask/gator-cli are consistent with the stated purpose of operating the Gator CLI for delegation and account workflows.
!
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run gator commands that generate and use private keys, read and write profile configs, and perform on-chain actions (requires rpcUrl and optional delegationStorage apiKey). It references config/cache paths under ~/.gator-cli. Those behaviors are expected for a CLI of this type, but they involve highly sensitive local data (private keys, delegation records) and on-chain operations which the skill metadata did not explicitly enumerate as config paths or sensitive requirements.
Install Mechanism
Install uses npm global install of @metamask/gator-cli which is a typical distribution mechanism. This is a moderate-risk install (third-party package execution). Verify the package publisher/name/version before installing and prefer installing in an isolated environment if unsure.

Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars or config paths, but SKILL.md expects/creates profile configs (~/.gator-cli/...) containing rpcUrl and optionally delegationStorage apiKey and private keys. The metadata omission is a mismatch: the CLI will touch and create sensitive local files and secrets that were not declared in requires.env / requires.config. That lack of explicit declaration reduces transparency and is a risk for users who assume no credentials or local files are accessed.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no cross-skill config changes are requested. However, runtime use will write files to the user's home (~/.gator-cli), including generated private keys and delegation caches. This is expected for the tool but is a persistent local footprint the user should accept explicitly.
What to consider before installing
This skill is functionally coherent with the gator CLI, but it will generate and store private keys and write configuration and delegation files under ~/.gator-cli and may perform on-chain transactions using your RPC endpoint. Before installing: 1) Verify the npm package @metamask/gator-cli (publisher, package page, and checksum/signature) and prefer installing in a sandbox or container. 2) Expect the tool to create/modify files in your home directory (~/.gator-cli); back up any important data first. 3) Treat rpcUrl and delegationStorage apiKey as sensitive: use a dedicated RPC endpoint or account and do not expose high-privilege keys. 4) If you need stronger protection for private keys, use a hardware wallet or avoid letting the CLI generate/store keys on your host. 5) If you want greater assurance, inspect the package source before running, or run commands with --profile pointing to a dedicated test profile. The metadata omission of the config paths is why I rate this suspicious rather than benign.

Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.
