daily-habit-tracker

Build and track daily habits with accountability systems and progress visualization

Security Scan

This is an instruction-only habit-tracking skill whose content and requirements match its stated purpose and it requests no credentials, binaries, or installs.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description (daily habit tracking, accountability, visualization) align with the SKILL.md content: templates, tracking sheets, analytics and habit-design guidance. There are no unexpected dependencies or requested credentials.

Instruction Scope

The SKILL.md contains only guidance, templates, and examples for designing and tracking habits. It does not instruct the agent to read files, access environment variables, run commands, call external endpoints, or transmit data elsewhere.

Install Mechanism

No install spec or code files are present; this is an instruction-only skill and nothing is written to disk or fetched during install.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The instructions likewise do not reference secrets or external service tokens.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request always-on presence (always:false) and does not attempt to modify other skills or global agent settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but is not combined with other concerning privileges.

Assessment

This skill is text-only guidance for building and tracking habits and appears internally consistent. Before installing: confirm you trust the publisher (the source is unknown), avoid pasting sensitive personal data into prompts or templates, and be aware that the skill will generate and display whatever you input (so don’t share passwords, medical details, or other secrets). If you later see an updated version that adds an install script, network calls, or required API keys, re-evaluate those changes before enabling it.
