Project Kickstart

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a project scaffolding skill that creates starter files and initializes git as part of its disclosed purpose.

Install this if you want an agent to generate new project boilerplate and initialize a git repository. Use it in an empty or clearly chosen directory, confirm the stack before generation when your request is broad, and review generated dependency and CI files before running installs or publishing the repo.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The trigger list is broad and overlaps with common user intents such as "new project," "boilerplate," and "create a new app," which can cause the skill to activate when the user did not explicitly request scaffolding. Because the skill can create files and initialize repositories, unintended invocation may lead to unexpected workspace modifications and confusing or unsafe automation.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill states that every project gets `git init` with a first commit, but this side effect is not clearly disclosed in the user-facing description or trigger behavior. Initializing a repository and creating a commit changes project state in a durable way, which can surprise users, interfere with existing workflows, or accidentally capture sensitive files if ignore rules are incomplete.
