Bearing

Bearing selection and life calculator

Security Scan

The skill is internally consistent with its description: a small local CLI that stores records under ~/.bearing and provides list/search/export/config commands; it requests no credentials or unusual installs and does not contact external endpoints.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (bearing selection and life calculator) align with the included files: a single shell script implementing add/list/search/export/stats/config commands and SKILL.md exposing those commands. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or install steps are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs the agent to run the bundled scripts/script.sh commands. The script reads/writes data under $BEARING_DIR (default ~/.bearing) in JSONL format and writes exported files to the current directory — this is consistent with a local CLI but means the skill will create and modify files in the user's home directory. The script does not reference external network endpoints or access unrelated system configurations.

Install Mechanism

No install spec; the skill is instruction-only with a bundled shell script. Nothing is downloaded or executed from external URLs during install.

Credentials

No required environment variables or credentials are declared. The script optionally respects BEARING_DIR to allow relocating data, which matches the documented configuration. No disproportionate environment or credential access is requested.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent platform privileges. It writes its own data/config under ~/.bearing (or BEARING_DIR) but does not modify other skills or system-wide agent settings.

Assessment

This skill appears to be a small local CLI that stores records in ~/.bearing (or a directory you set via BEARING_DIR). Before installing or running: review the bundled scripts/script.sh (already included) to confirm you trust it (it runs locally and writes files). Note that entries are appended to a JSONL file without escaping user input, so adding text with quotes/newlines may corrupt the JSONL format — avoid inserting sensitive data into entries. Exports and config changes create files in your working directory and $BEARING_DIR respectively. If you want to limit impact, set BEARING_DIR to a dedicated directory you control before using the skill.
