Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

Claude Code, Skill

Agent Skills

Eight Claude Code skills I designed and built, plus two entries adapted from Julius Brussee's caveman (MIT), all curated down from a larger private set to the ones I use daily.

Compatibility: Not stated.

Grade C

One Medium finding. Read the report before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED Medium

    Runs shell commands that the manifest or description does not mention.

    caveman-compress/scripts/compress.py, line 40 result = subprocess.run(

Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.

Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

    NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST

    signal-shadow/scripts/signal_shadow.py, line 83

    with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=30) as resp:

    signal-shadow/scripts/signal_shadow.py, line 151

    src.add_argument("--url", help="URL to fetch (raw HTML, no article extraction)")

  • Secrets

    Concern

    reads a credential or environment file.

    SECRETS_ENV_READ SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

    caveman-compress/scripts/compress.py, line 24

    api_key = os.environ.get("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY")

    repo-security-scan/SKILL.md, line 86

    - **Heuristics**: .pth files, dangerous setup.py calls, shell dotfiles, symlinks, .env files.
