Validator

Validator - command-line tool for everyday use

Security Scan

The skill appears to be a local command-line recorder/validator that stores entries under the user home directory and does not request credentials or network access, but there are minor inconsistencies between documentation and the actual script you should be aware of.

Purpose & Capability

The declared purpose (a CLI validator/utility) matches the script's behavior (local logging, search, export, status). However there are small mismatches: SKILL.md mentions a VALIDATOR_DIR env var and commands like add/list that are not implemented exactly as described, and the package version in metadata (1.0.1) differs from the script's version string (v2.0.0).

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions and examples describe local use and exporting to stdout/files. The included script operates only on local files under a data directory and standard shell utilities (date, grep, tail, wc, du). SKILL.md suggests changing the data dir via VALIDATOR_DIR, but the script actually hardcodes DATA_DIR from HOME and ignores VALIDATOR_DIR — an instruction/scope mismatch.

Install Mechanism

No install spec is provided (instruction-only skill with an included script). Nothing in the bundle attempts to download or install external code; risk from install mechanism is low.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials (appropriate). The script uses HOME (to create ~/.local/share/validator). SKILL.md mentions VALIDATOR_DIR but the script does not read it; this inconsistency should be clarified. No secrets or unrelated credentials are requested.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not always-enabled and is user-invocable. It writes data in a per-user data directory (~/.local/share/validator) and does not modify other skills or system-wide configurations.

Assessment

This skill appears to be a simple local CLI tool that logs inputs and provides search/export functionality — it does not contact the network or request credentials. Before installing: (1) Note it will create and write files under ~/.local/share/validator; review or run the script in a sandbox if you are uncomfortable with that. (2) The SKILL.md and registry metadata diverge from the script (version mismatch and a mentioned VALIDATOR_DIR env var that the script ignores); ask the author or inspect the full script if you need deterministic behavior for data storage. (3) If you plan to store sensitive inputs, avoid using this tool until you confirm where data is written and retained, or change the data directory in the script to a location you control.

Input validator — check emails, URLs, phone numbers, dates, and custom patterns.
