Yes — better-harness passed AgentSkillsHub's rule-based security scan with no dangerous patterns detected. As with any third-party skill, confirm what credentials it requests before production use.

What it is: An open-source Harness Engineering platform for coding agents—define harnesses as code, run controlled experiments, inspect evidence, and compare outcomes. Turn task evidence into actionable team and organization insights.

No dangerous patterns were detected: no credential exfiltration, no obfuscated downloads, no sandbox-escape attempts, no prompt-injection markers.

This is AgentSkillsHub's free basic audit: an automated rule-based scan with 42 published rules built on SlowMist's agent-security taxonomy (credential theft, obfuscated payloads, privilege escalation, covert instructions to the agent, and more) across 186,000+ open-source AI agent skills and MCP servers, refreshed every 8 hours. A SAFE grade is a scan result, not a guarantee — deep 5-dimension audits (code · credentials · vendor · supply-chain · operational) are available for enterprise. Audited: 2026-10-23.
