Security audit

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears safe to install, but users should treat its watchdog and checkpoint steps as explicit local side effects that need cleanup.

Install only if you are comfortable with the skill creating local checkpoint/proof artifacts and with any watchdog being explicitly scheduled by you. Before use, confirm where files are written, how to remove the recurring job, and avoid leaving the watchdog enabled after the workflow is complete.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The README explicitly instructs users to schedule a recurring watchdog and create checkpoint/proof files, which are system-modifying behaviors, but it does not clearly warn that the skill may persist files in /tmp and install or leave behind recurring jobs. In an agent-skill context, that omission is security-relevant because operators may invoke the skill expecting advisory behavior, while it can cause persistence-like background execution and filesystem side effects.
