Cad

Computer-aided design assistant

Security Scan

The package is internally coherent as a simple local CRUD tool that stores entries under ~/.cad, but its name/description (a 'Computer-aided design assistant') does not match what it actually does.

Purpose & Capability

The skill is advertised as a 'Computer-aided design assistant' but the shipped script implements a lightweight CLI journal/entry manager (add/list/search/remove/export/config) that reads/writes JSONL in ~/.cad. There are no CAD operations, no handling of CAD file formats, and no CAD-related binaries or libraries. This mismatch between advertised purpose and actual capability is a material inconsistency.

Instruction Scope

The SKILL.md instructs the agent to run the included scripts/script.sh with specific commands; the script only reads and writes files under the configured DATA_DIR (default ~/.cad) and prints structured output. There are no network calls, no access to other system paths or credentials, and no instructions to exfiltrate data. Note: the script will create and modify files in the user's home directory (~/ .cad).

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec (instruction-only skill with an included script file). No external downloads or package installs are performed by the skill. Only a bash script is included and executed.

Credentials

The skill requests no credentials and no required environment variables. It supports an optional CAD_DIR env var to override the data directory, which is proportionate to the functionality. It does rely on common shell utilities (grep, sed, wc, tail, du, cp), but none are unusual or unexpected.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request permanent/always-on presence (always: false) and does not modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. Its persistence is limited to creating and updating files under the user's DATA_DIR.

What to consider before installing

This package is a simple local CLI entry manager that stores data in ~/.cad as JSONL; it does not implement CAD features despite the name/description. If you expected CAD file handling or integration with CAD tools, this skill does not provide that. The script writes and edits files under your home directory (~/ .cad) but makes no network connections and does not request credentials. Before installing, consider: 1) whether the actual functionality (note/entry storage) matches your needs; 2) that your entries will be stored locally and could contain sensitive information (back up or remove if needed); 3) cross-platform quirks (the script uses sed -i which behaves differently on macOS); and 4) you can safely review scripts/script.sh yourself since no external code is fetched. If you want a true CAD assistant, look for a skill that documents CAD tool integration and requires relevant binaries or APIs.
