Security audit

Weather Daily

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to do the advertised weather-note update with limited local file writing, but users should notice that its API-key handling is less strong than the security notes claim.

Install only if you are comfortable giving the skill an OpenWeatherMap API key and allowing it to append files under your Obsidian daily-note directory or the configured WEATHER_DAILY_OUTPUT_DIR. Consider using a limited weather API key because the implementation passes the key as a curl argument/query parameter despite stronger wording in the security notes.
