Quote

Record, search, and display quotes and sayings. Use when saving favorites, checking attribution, converting collections, analyzing themes, generating picks.

Security Scan

The skill's code and instructions match its description: a simple offline CLI that stores and searches quotes in ~/.local/share/quote/, with no network calls or credential requests.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (record, search, display quotes) align with the provided shell script and SKILL.md. All required functionality is implemented locally and there are no unrelated permissions or external integrations requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md and the script stay within the stated purpose (running commands, logging, exporting, searching). Notable: the tool logs every entry and activity to ~/.local/share/quote/history.log and per-command .log files — this is expected but means any input will be persistently recorded locally.

Install Mechanism

No install spec; the skill is instruction-only with an included bash script. Nothing is downloaded from external URLs and no archive extraction or package installs occur.

Credentials

The skill requires no environment variables or credentials. It uses $HOME and standard POSIX utilities only and confines file access to ~/.local/share/quote.

Persistence & Privilege

always:false and user-invocable:true. The skill does not request persistent platform-wide privileges or modify other skills/configs; it only writes to its own data directory.

Assessment

This skill appears to be what it says: a local CLI logger/searcher for quotes. Before installing, review the script if you want to confirm behavior; be aware that anything you save is stored in plaintext under ~/.local/share/quote (including history.log and per-command .log files). Do not use it to store secrets or sensitive personal data unless you accept local plaintext storage or add your own encryption. If you share the machine, check file permissions on that directory to ensure others cannot read your entries.

Quote makes utility tools simple. Record, search, and analyze your data with clear terminal output.
