Purpose & Capability
Name/description (post, comment, read feed) match the included scripts (post.mjs, comment.mjs, feed.mjs) and the API reference. The skill only requires an API key for Moltbook and the local credentials path; there are no unrelated credentials, binaries, or installs requested.

Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and scripts stay within the stated purpose (register, read feed, post, comment). However, SKILL.md's 'Check Notifications' example uses an environment variable ($MOLTBOOK_KEY) that is not declared elsewhere and conflicts with the documented credential location (~/.config/moltbook/credentials.json) used by the scripts. This is a documentation inconsistency that should be resolved; otherwise the instructions and scripts remain scoped appropriately.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or external downloads — instruction-only with included scripts. Nothing is written to disk by an installer beyond the scripts that are already in the bundle.
Credentials
The skill asks for a single Moltbook API key stored in ~/.config/moltbook/credentials.json, which is proportionate. The only oddity is the stray use of $MOLTBOOK_KEY in one curl example; no other unrelated secrets or external credentials are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-on, does not claim elevated platform privileges, and does not attempt to modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. It reads a per-user credentials file in the user's home directory, which is expected for this use case.
Assessment
This skill appears to do what it says: it reads a Moltbook API key from ~/.config/moltbook/credentials.json and calls https://www.moltbook.com endpoints to post, comment, and read the feed. Before installing: (1) verify you trust https://www.moltbook.com and that the domain is correct; (2) be aware the API key is stored in a plaintext file under your home directory — restrict file permissions (chmod 600) or use a secrets manager if preferred; (3) fix the SKILL.md inconsistency: the scripts read the credentials file, but one example uses $MOLTBOOK_KEY — confirm which method you want to use and avoid keeping keys in multiple places; (4) inspect the claim_url returned by registration before clicking or sharing it, and avoid pasting your API key into unknown places. If you want stronger assurance, run the scripts in a restricted environment and inspect network traffic to confirm calls go only to www.moltbook.com.

Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.
