Security audit verdict: SAFE · quality 70/100

None of the 42 rules matched — no credential harvesting, no data exfiltration, no curl-pipe-shell installer. Scanned against 42 published rules built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, refreshed every 8 hours. Full audit →

The quality score combines nine heuristic checks of the repo and its README: completeness, clarity, specificity, examples, structure, agent readiness, step-by-step content, instruction quality and security notes. It rates how well the project explains itself to an agent, not the code.

About skill-recorder

Skill Recorder Record yourself doing a task once, then turn it into a skill your AI agent can repeat. Skill Recorder captures a real work session on your screen: the clicks, the app and window switches, the pages you visit, and (if you want) your spoken narration. It then uses the GitHub Copilot CLI to reconstruct what you actually did as a clear intent plus an ordered list of steps.

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy: 42 published rules, covering credential harvesting, data exfiltration, curl | sh installers and more. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
