Scanner verdict

BenignFeb 22, 2026, 3:37 PM
Verdict
benign
Confidence
high
Model
gpt-5-mini
Summary
This is an instruction-only local memory system that consistently documents creating and managing a ~/memory/ folder for long-term organized storage and does not request credentials, installs, or network access — its requirements and instructions align with its stated purpose.
Guidance
This skill is coherent and local-only, but before installing consider: (1) it will create and persist potentially sensitive text files in ~/memory/ — decide where you want them stored and whether to encrypt or back them up; (2) the agent may write entries immediately when users provide data, so confirm that behavior with end users; (3) syncing from built-in memory is one-way and must be explicitly enabled — do not enable sync unless you want copies of MEMORY.md content placed in ~/memory/; (4) because the agent can be invoked autonomously (platform default), only enable the skill for agents you trust to create and manage files on your behalf; (5) review/remove ~/memory/ if you later want to revoke the skill's data; and (6) if you have security policies about data-at-rest in user home directories, treat this skill like any other that writes persistent files and apply appropriate controls (permissions, encryption, audit).
Findings
[regex-scanner-no-findings] expected: Scanner had no code files to analyze; this is an instruction-only skill so absence of findings is expected.

Review Dimensions

Purpose & Capability
okName/description match the content: the skill is a file-based 'infinite' memory system. It only requires file I/O in the user's home directory (~/memory/) and does not ask for unrelated binaries, credentials, or services.
Instruction Scope
noteSKILL.md instructs the agent to create, read, move, index, and search Markdown files under ~/memory/ and optionally to read built-in memory (MEMORY.md) for one-way sync. These operations are consistent with the purpose, but the skill does instruct the agent to write to the user's home directory and to read workspace built-in memory when syncing — the user should expect on-disk persistence of potentially sensitive data and explicit consent should be obtained before syncing built-in memory.
Install Mechanism
okNo install spec and no code files — instruction-only. This is lowest-risk from an installation perspective because nothing is downloaded or executed beyond normal shell commands if the agent runs them.
Credentials
okNo environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The documented operations only use file paths under the user's home and optionally read the agent's built-in MEMORY.md when the user opts into sync, which is proportionate to the described functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
noteThe skill persists data by writing files into ~/memory/ (intentional per spec). always is false and autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default). This combination is reasonable for a memory skill but increases blast radius if the agent is allowed to act autonomously — users should ensure they trust the agent to create persistent files.
