Security Scan

This is a documentation-only meta-skill that mainly instructs you to install an external Memphis CLI from GitHub (which is coherent), but there are several inconsistencies (mismatched version numbers, overconfident claims) and it recommends running remote install scripts via curl|bash — a moderate-risk pattern you should review before proceeding.

Purpose & Capability

The skill is a META-PACKAGE whose SKILL.md and wrapper script simply delegate to an external Memphis CLI; requiring the external CLI is appropriate for the stated purpose. However, registry metadata (v3.7.2) and included _meta.json / README versions (3.6.7 / 3.6.3) disagree, which is an inconsistency worth questioning.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md stays within the expected scope: it only instructs installing and using the Memphis CLI and related optional tools (Ollama, Node.js). It references local paths like ~/memphis and ~/.memphis which are expected for a CLI. It does recommend networked features (multi-agent sync, trade manifests) — expected for this product but these features imply network communication and key/identity use that the user should understand before enabling.

Install Mechanism

There is no built-in install spec; the instructions ask you to run curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/.../install.sh | bash and other remote install scripts. Downloading and executing a remote install script directly is a common but higher-risk pattern. The URLs are GitHub raw and referenced project domains (not obscure shorteners), which reduces but does not eliminate risk. No other suspicious download hosts were used.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables or secrets and the wrapper script simply forwards arguments to the memphis CLI. The SKILL.md mentions local config files (~/.memphis) and data directories, which is expected. No unrelated credentials or broad environment access are requested.

Persistence & Privilege

always:false and the skill is instruction-only with a thin wrapper script that does not modify other skills or global agent settings. It does not request persistent elevated privileges in the skill bundle itself.

What to consider before installing

This skill is mostly documentation that expects you to install the Memphis CLI from the author's GitHub. Before installing or piping any remote script to bash: 1) Inspect the referenced install.sh on GitHub (do not run it blind). 2) Prefer cloning the repo and building locally (git clone + npm install + npm run build) if you can. 3) Verify the GitHub repo/owner legitimacy (stars, recent commits, tags, signed releases). 4) Note the mismatched version strings in the skill metadata — ask the publisher why versions differ. 5) Be aware that multi-agent sync and trade features perform network operations and use cryptographic identities (DIDs); review what data will be shared and where. 6) If unsure, run the installer in an isolated environment (container or VM) and examine ~/.memphis and any generated keys before connecting to other agents. If you want, I can: fetch and summarize the install.sh contents, compare repository tags/releases, or highlight specific lines in install scripts to review.
