Security Scan

The skill's claimed purpose (funeral home operations and compliance) aligns with its instructions and it requests no credentials, installs, or unusual privileges — it appears internally consistent.

Purpose & Capability

Name and description match the SKILL.md content. The skill is an information/advice agent about FTC rules, state licensing, preneed trusts, cremation, pricing, and KPIs — and it does not ask for unrelated resources or credentials.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions are limited to providing regulatory guidance, citations, penalties, action steps, and KPIs. They do not instruct the agent to read local files, access environment variables, call arbitrary external endpoints (aside from referenced public documentation links), or exfiltrate data.

Install Mechanism

No install spec or code files are present; this is instruction-only so nothing is written to disk or automatically installed.

Credentials

The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There are no requests for tokens/keys or other secrets that would be disproportionate to its stated purpose.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent or elevated privileges. It does not modify other skills or system-wide settings.

Assessment

This skill is an advisory knowledge pack and appears internally consistent, but regulatory details vary by state and can change. Do not treat its output as legal advice — verify citations and current state/federal law before acting, and consult an attorney or regulator for compliance-sensitive actions. Be cautious if you plan to paste sensitive business or personal data into prompts; the skill does not request credentials, but any data you provide in chat could be exposed depending on your agent's settings.
