Before & after

Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.

PromptIs this third-party Claude skill safe to install before I trust it with my data?
Beforegeneric AI agent
I can look at that skill and give you some general guidance on safety. You'd want to check things like what permissions it requests, whether the code looks suspicious, and if the creator is trustworthy. I could review it for obvious red flags, but a complete security audit would require a deep dive into the code. If you share the skill with me, I can give you some thoughts on potential issues. Are there specific concerns you have about it?
Afterwith Skill Evaluator
SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT: Third-Party Skill

OVERALL RISK RATING: LOW (green flag)

FILE SCAN
  Total files: 23
  JavaScript: 18 files
  JSON configs: 4 files
  Markdown: 1 file
  Compiled/binary: 0 files (good sign)

PERMISSION AUDIT
  Requested capabilities:
    - Read files from /Users/./project (SAFE - project-scoped)
    - Write to /tmp/output (SAFE - temp directory)
    - Network: api.example.com (APPROVED - whitelisted domain)
    - Environment access: API_KEY, DATABASE_URL (CAUTION - requires audit)

PROMPT INJECTION SCAN
  Regex patterns checked: 847
  Suspicious patterns found: 2 (low severity)
    - Pattern: eval() appears 0 times (good)
    - Pattern: exec() in shell command: 1 instance, context verified (safe)
    - Dynamic import: 1 instance, path is hardcoded (safe)
    - String interpolation in SQL: 0 instances (good)

DEPENDENCY CHECK
  npm dependencies: 12 total
  Known CVEs: 0
  Outdated packages: 2 (not critical)
    - lodash@4.17.15 (update available to 4.17.21, no CVE impact)

FLAGGED PATTERNS
  1. File reads from process.env.USER_HOME (line 47)
     Risk: Could expose ~/.ssh or ~/.aws credentials
     Verdict: Mitigated (code validates path before read, good defensive coding)
  2. No HTTPS validation in fetch() calls (line 89)
     Risk: MITM attack possible on api.example.com
     Verdict: Require https:// in env var or reject

RECOMMENDATION: SAFE TO INSTALL with these conditions:
  - Verify API endpoint is HTTPS-only in your .env
  - Run skill in sandboxed environment first
  - Monitor file access logs for 1 week
  - Pin to version 1.2.0 (latest tested)
