No security findings. Scanned 1 time, most recently 2026-10-21.
Second scanner: NVIDIA SkillSpector
SkillSpector found no issues but could not fully inspect the package, usually because SKILL.md refers to a file that is not present, so it fails closed to CAUTION instead of SAFE. Read it as "not fully checked", not as a finding. How the two scanners compare across the whole corpus: Two scanners, one corpus.
What this skill does
Extracts and preprocesses whole-slide histology image tiles with Histolab. Use for WSI inspection, tissue masks, random/grid/score-based tile extraction, H&E stain normalization, and tile dataset preparation. For multiplexed imaging or deep learning inference pipelines, use pathml.

- Compatibility
- Requires Python 3.8–3.11 and histolab 0.7.0 on Linux or macOS, plus native OpenSlide. Python 3.10 avoids scikit-image 0.19 source builds on macOS ARM. Optional pooch downloads samples; matplotlib plots results; large-image plus a tile source enables MPP extraction.

Package contents recorded 2026-10-22 at commit 593377bb0487. The scan above ran against the version current at scan time; the two can differ if the skill has since been updated.
What we checked
- Static analyzer. Pattern rules over SKILL.md and bundled files: known-bad commands, exfiltration URLs, secrets, obfuscation.
- Bytecode analyzer.
- Pipeline analyzer.
- Correlation analyzer.
- Behavioral analyzer. Checks what the skill asks the agent to do against what its description claims it does.
- Trigger analyzer. Looks for instructions that fire on conditions the user did not ask for.
What we did not check
- Runtime behaviour. The skill was not executed; findings come from reading its files.
- Anything fetched at install or run time, including remote scripts, package dependencies, and URLs the skill tells the agent to open.
- Content the analyzers cannot read: images, binaries, and some non-English text.
- Known scanner bypass classes. See the methodology and limitations page.
