Second scanner: NVIDIA SkillSpector
The two scanners disagree: Cisco found nothing and SkillSpector says do not install. One of them has a blind spot here; read the skill before trusting either. How the two scanners compare across the whole corpus: Two scanners, one corpus.
What this skill does
Rowan is a cloud-native molecular modeling and medicinal-chemistry workflow platform with a Python API. Use for pKa and macropKa prediction, conformer and tautomer ensembles, docking and analogue docking, protein-ligand cofolding, MSA generation, molecular dynamics, permeability, descriptor workflows, and related small-molecule or protein modeling tasks. Ideal for programmatic batch screening, multi-step chemistry pipelines, and workflows that would otherwise require maintaining local HPC/GPU infrastructure.
- Package
- 6 files, 51 KB
- SKILL.md
- 1941 words, 12+ sections
- Code
- None. Instructions only.
- License
- Proprietary (API key required)
- Compatibility
- Python 3.12+ with rowan-python and its RDKit/stjames dependencies. Requires network access and ROWAN_API_KEY for hosted workflows.
SKILL.md covers: Rowan: Cloud-Native Molecular-Modeling and Drug-Design Workflows · Overview · When to use Rowan · Quick start · Reads ROWAN_API_KEY from the environment. · Descriptors require a 3D Molecule, not a bare SMILES string. · Installation · Lock dependencies in your own environment; do not install the unrelated "rowan" package. · Authentication and account access · Authentication · Molecule input formats · SMILES strings versus molecule objects

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.
