headless-terminal

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only skill for controlling terminal UI sessions, and its powerful capture/control behavior is mostly disclosed and aligned with that purpose.

Install `ht` only from the named Montana Flynn headless-terminal project or another source you explicitly trust. Use this skill when a real terminal UI needs PTY control, approve remote/auth/destructive flows deliberately, and protect or delete recordings and screenshots because they can capture sensitive terminal contents.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding
The recording recipes encourage capturing full terminal sessions to asciicast/GIF without warning that prompts, secrets, tokens, hostnames, file paths, or other sensitive on-screen data may be recorded and then easily shared. In this skill's context, the tool is explicitly designed to drive installers, auth prompts, SSH/TUIs, and REPLs, which increases the likelihood that sensitive data appears in the recorded output.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The screenshot recipe shows exporting the current terminal view to PNG without warning that the image may contain confidential terminal contents. Because this skill targets hostile/full-screen and interactive sessions, screenshots can easily capture credentials, access tokens, internal hostnames, customer data, or other sensitive operational context and then persist it to disk for later disclosure.
