Village Blacksmith Starter

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward blacksmithing guide that only asks for local note/log files, with no hidden code or credential use.

Before installing, understand that the skill may create or update local markdown notes/logs in your workspace. For the real-world activity, use proper safety gear, ventilation, supervision, and local legal guidance before doing forge work or selling repaired items.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Confidence: 89% confidence
Finding: The skill repeatedly instructs the agent to create and update local files such as `blacksmith-setup.md`, `daily-practice-log.md`, and `income-log.md` without telling the user up front that filesystem writes will occur. This is a real agent-safety issue because silent file creation/modification can surprise users, clutter the workspace, or overwrite existing notes if names collide, even though the content itself is not overtly malicious.
