Cline

Automation skill for Cline.

Security Scan

The skill is instruction-only and coherent with its stated purpose: it simply invokes a local 'cline' CLI; there are no unexpected env vars, installs, or hidden behaviors in the SKILL.md.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description claim 'Automation skill for Cline' and the SKILL.md require the local 'cline' command on PATH — this is proportionate and expected.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are narrowly scoped to running 'cline -y "<TASK>"' and do not request unrelated files or credentials. Caveat: the SKILL.md mandates the '-y' (auto-confirm) flag while also saying 'Ask before destructive commands' — this is an internal inconsistency because '-y' will auto-accept prompts and could permit destructive actions if tasks are mis-specified. Also, because the skill runs a local CLI, the actual surface (file/network access) depends on what that binary does; the skill itself does not request those accesses explicitly.

Install Mechanism

No install spec (instruction-only). Nothing will be downloaded or written by the skill itself.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested — proportional to an instruction-only wrapper around a local CLI.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and model invocation is allowed (default). This is normal for an invocable skill and the skill does not request elevated persistence or modification of other skills.

Assessment

This skill will run whatever your locally installed 'cline' binary does. Before installing: (1) ensure the 'cline' binary on your system is the legitimate tool you expect (check origin/signature), (2) be cautious because the skill uses '-y' which auto-confirms actions — avoid or remove '-y' for tasks that could modify files or systems, and (3) do not grant the agent broad autonomous authority to run destructive tasks; require explicit confirmation for any change-making operations or run the CLI in a sandboxed/test environment first.
