Skill Preflight Bootstrap

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill transparently bootstraps a repository-level skill-preflight workflow, with scoped project file changes and no evidence of hidden data theft or destructive behavior.

Use `--dry-run` first and review the generated `.codex/settings.json`, `.claude/settings.json`, `AGENTS.md`, and hook scripts before applying. Be aware that remote skill search runs an external `npx` command and may send the task description to that tool, so avoid including secrets in those queries or in `.learnings` notes.

Finding
The skill instructs the operator to run a bootstrap script that reads from the current skill directory and writes multiple files into a target repository, including scripts, hooks, settings, and AGENTS.md content. Those are code-capable behaviors, but the skill declares no permissions, which weakens reviewability and can cause users or enforcement systems to authorize powerful file and shell operations without explicit disclosure.
