Redis

Redis - command-line tool for everyday use

Security Scan

The skill is a local logging/utility script (writes and reads files under your home directory) but is named and described like the Redis database client — the name/description and claimed capabilities don't match the actual behavior.

Purpose & Capability

The skill is named 'Redis' and the description implies connecting/querying/monitoring Redis instances, but the included script only reads and writes local log files under ~/.local/share/redis and provides local export/search utilities. Expectation of interacting with a Redis server (network, AUTH, Redis protocol) is not met and the naming is misleading.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md and the CLI surface claim features like 'connect, query, monitor, backup, and manage Redis instances', but the runtime instructions and script implement local logging, simple commands (check/validate/generate/...), search, export, and status based solely on files in a local data directory. The instructions do not perform network calls or access other system paths, but they do instruct writing and reading user files in the home directory which is broader than a benign 'help' wrapper.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no external downloads; it's an instruction-only skill with an included bash script. Nothing is fetched from the network during install.

Credentials

The skill requests no credentials or special environment variables. It uses standard HOME and documents REDIS_DIR as a configurable data directory — this is proportional to its actual behavior (local file storage).

Persistence & Privilege

The script persistently writes logs and export files under ~/.local/share/redis (or REDIS_DIR). It does not request elevated privileges or always:true. Users should note it will create and modify files in their home directory.

Scan Findings in Context

[no_findings] expected: No regex-based pre-scan findings were detected. For an instruction-only/local script this is expected; manual code review was used above.

What to consider before installing

This package is a local CLI that stores and reads entries from ~/.local/share/redis; it does not actually implement or connect to the Redis database despite the name. If you expected a Redis client or server tool, do not install — this will not provide network/DB functionality. If you intend to use it as a local note/activity logger, it's reasonably coherent: it will create and modify files in your home directory and can export those files. Before installing, consider: (1) review the script yourself (it's plain bash), (2) pick a different REDIS_DIR or run it in a sandbox/container to avoid mixing data, (3) do not provide any credentials (the skill does not need them), and (4) verify the publisher/website if you need authenticity — the package name could be misleading. If you need a real Redis client/server tool, use the official Redis packages instead.

Features

• Simple command-line interface for quick access
• Local data storage with JSON/CSV export
• History tracking and activity logs
• Search across all entries

Quick Start

# Check status
redis status

# View help
redis help

# Export data
redis export json

How It Works

Redis stores all data locally in ~/.local/share/redis/. Each command logs activity with timestamps for full traceability.
