Terminal In Chrome

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a small, disclosed helper for starting, checking, and stopping a local web-terminal backend, but users should treat the local terminal server and stop command carefully.

Install only if you intentionally want an agent to manage a local browser terminal backend. Before stopping the server, verify the PID shown by `lsof` belongs to this terminal backend and prefer a normal shutdown or plain `kill` before `kill -9`. Be cautious with any Chrome extension that gives websites access to a local shell, and use only trusted source code.

Missing User Warnings

Finding
The skill instructs users to identify a process on port 8989 and terminate it with `kill -9`, but provides no warning, confirmation step, or safer fallback. In a local environment this can abruptly terminate the wrong process if port reuse or misidentification occurs, and `SIGKILL` prevents graceful shutdown and cleanup.
