Alias Tool

Create and manage command aliases in shell environments. Define shortcuts for frequently used commands.

Security Scan

The skill's code and instructions are consistent with its stated purpose (managing shell aliases); it only reads/writes a ~/.aliasrc JSON file and does not request credentials, network access, or unusual system privileges.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description match the included behavior: the tool stores and lists aliases. The script reads/writes a user file (~/.aliasrc) to persist aliases, which is proportionate to the stated purpose.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md shows shell 'alias' usage but does not document how to use the provided scripts or how to integrate ~/.aliasrc with the user's shell (sourcing). The runtime instructions do not attempt to read unrelated files or credentials.

Install Mechanism

No install spec is provided and there are no downloads or package installs. The skill is instruction-only plus a small script, so nothing is written to disk by an installer.

Credentials

The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or external config paths. The single file it accesses (~/.aliasrc) is consistent with managing persistent aliases.

Persistence & Privilege

The script will create/modify ~/.aliasrc in the user's home directory to persist aliases. This is expected behavior for an alias manager; the skill is not always-enabled and does not modify system-wide settings or other skills.

Assessment

This skill appears to do what it says: it manages aliases by reading/writing a JSON file at ~/.aliasrc and does not contact the network or request secrets. Before installing or running it, review the scripts/alias.py file (it is short and readable), back up any existing ~/.aliasrc you have, and be aware that adding aliases here does not automatically enable them in your current shell session (you will need to source a file or add integration to your shell startup). Also note the script has minimal error handling—if ~/.aliasrc is malformed, the script may fail—so inspect the file and contents first.
