Security audit

cwd-guardian

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears to have a disclosed filesystem recovery side effect, but the available evidence does not show deception, exfiltration, destructive behavior, or purpose-mismatched authority.

Before installing, confirm you are comfortable with the skill recreating a missing working-directory path and potentially allowing the associated daemon to continue. Prefer running it only in an intended workspace, and look for logs or confirmation controls around any recovery action.

Missing User Warnings

Finding
The skill explicitly states it will recreate a missing working-directory path on disk, but the description provides no warning about that side effect or its risks. Automatically rebuilding a deleted cwd can hide underlying filesystem problems, recreate paths in unintended locations, and cause the evolver daemon to resume operation against a directory the user expected to remain removed.
