Merge

Merge - command-line tool for everyday use

Security Scan

The package mostly appears to be a simple local logging/merge tool, but the SKILL.md, included script, and registry metadata contain inconsistencies and the shipped script writes to your home directory—review needed before installing or running.

Purpose & Capability

SKILL.md and the file header advertise a lightweight 'merge' CLI for combining/ exporting local data; the included script implements a larger 'sysops' toolkit (scan, monitor, backup, restore, etc.). The documented top-level commands (merge run, add, list) do not match the script's actual command list. Version in SKILL.md (v2.0.0) differs from registry version (1.0.2). These mismatches suggest sloppy packaging or that the documentation and code are out of sync.

Instruction Scope

The runtime script creates and writes logs under $HOME/.local/share/merge and reads/writes many .log files there. It does not reference external network endpoints or request unrelated system credentials in the visible portion. However the skill bundle is instruction-only (no install) but includes a script that will be present on disk and executed; the SKILL.md commands and examples are inconsistent with the script's actual behavior, which reduces trust. The provided file was truncated in the listing — unseen parts could change the risk profile.

Install Mechanism

No install spec (instruction-only skill) and no downloads or package installs are declared. The only code is a shell script included in the skill bundle, so nothing external is fetched during install according to the metadata.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials and the script only uses HOME to build a data directory; no external API keys or unrelated secrets are requested. That is proportionate to a local data/logging utility.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not marked always:true, does not request elevated privileges, and does not attempt to modify other skills or global agent configuration in the visible code. It does persist data under the user's home directory (~/.local/share/merge).

What to consider before installing

Proceed cautiously. What doesn't add up: the SKILL.md examples and registry metadata don't match the included script (different commands and versions), the skill has no declared homepage in the registry although the docs mention bytesagain.com, and the provided script (visible portion) creates and writes logs in your home directory. Before installing or running: 1) Inspect the full script (the listing was truncated) to confirm there are no network calls, eval/exec of untrusted input, or reads of unrelated system files. 2) Verify the publisher and the bytesagain.com links independently. 3) If you want to test, run it in a restricted/sandbox environment or a throwaway account so file writes are isolated. 4) If you expect only a small 'merge' CLI (run/add/list), ask the author for clarification or a version that matches that minimal surface—the current bundle appears out-of-sync and therefore warrants extra scrutiny.
