improve-codebase-architecture
Verdict safe, but 1 finding (1 info), mainly policy violation. Most recent scan 2026-10-22.
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 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.
