Mediation

Mediation and ADR reference — dispute resolution processes, mediator techniques, caucus strategy, settlement agreements. Use when preparing for mediation ses...

Security Scan

The skill's files and runtime instructions match its mediation/ADR purpose and it neither requests credentials nor installs external packages, but it executes a bundled shell script so you should briefly review that script before use.

Purpose & Capability

Name, description, and SKILL.md commands line up with a reference/help skill for mediation; the only runtime artifact is a bundled shell script that prints guidance and handles subcommands — there are no unrelated binaries or credential requests.

Instruction Scope

The SKILL.md instructs the agent to run scripts/script.sh with various subcommands. The visible portions of script.sh are purely documentation output (mediation content) and reference an optional MEDIATION_DIR; however the provided script is truncated in the package listing, so you should confirm the remainder contains no network calls, shell eval/exec of untrusted input, or access to unrelated system files before running.

Install Mechanism

No install spec is provided (instruction-only with an included script). Nothing is downloaded from external URLs during install; risk is limited to executing the bundled script at runtime.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. It documents an optional MEDIATION_DIR configuration (default ~/.mediation/) which is proportionate to a reference/help skill.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable; it does not request persistent system-wide privileges and doesn't claim to modify other skills or global agent settings.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent, but because it executes a bundled shell script you should: (1) open and read scripts/script.sh in full to confirm it only prints mediation content and does not perform network requests or modify arbitrary files; (2) search the script for suspicious commands (curl, wget, nc, ssh, scp, rm -rf, eval, base64, openssl, python -c, perl -e, exec); (3) if unsure, run the skill in an isolated/sandboxed environment first; and (4) avoid supplying any secrets or elevated access to the agent unless you verify the script's behavior and trust the publisher (bytesagain.com / the GitHub repo).
