How we know
Listed the 12 files in the skill’s folder on GitHub; none is a script or program.
No known risk pattern found

How we know
Read 2026-10-05, commit 1be9984 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.
