You don’t need to name it. Ask for the job in your own words — your AI loads the skill when the request matches.
What it can touch
No script files in its folder
Its folder holds text, not programs. It changes how your AI works; it does not bring code of its own.
How we know
Listed the 6 files in the skill’s folder on GitHub; none is a script or program.
Mentions an outside service
The instructions point your AI at these sites or APIs. Anything it sends there leaves your computer.
How we know
Web addresses in the SKILL.md, excluding GitHub and documentation sites: www.amazon.com.
No known risk pattern found
Launch7’s automated check read all 6 text files in this skill and matched none of its risk patterns. This is not a guarantee: a check like this can miss new or disguised tricks, and the author can change the files after the check.
How we know
Read 2026-10-05, commit c172996 by pipeline/trust/analyze.py — 40+ patterns for hidden text, prompt injection, downloads that run, credential access and more. It reads; it never runs the skill.
Recently maintained
Its repository has had changes recently.
How we know
Last push to wondelai/skills: 2026-09-10 (25 days before the scan).
Read automatically from the skill’s own files on GitHub on 5 Oct 2026. Launch7 does not run or manually review skills: this lists what the check saw, and nothing here means “safe”. How we check
