text

Commit Review: 3/10

Issues:

Security

Data Transmission

AI commands send git diff output or commit history to api.evolink.ai for analysis by Claude. By setting EVOLINK_API_KEY and using these commands, you consent to this transmission. Data is not stored after the response is returned. The conventions command runs entirely locally.

Network Access

• api.evolink.ai — AI analysis (AI commands only)

Persistence & Privilege

No files are written. No credentials stored. Temporary files for API payloads are cleaned up automatically. This skill never runs git commit, git push, or any destructive git operations — it only reads.
