Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

Claude Code, Skill

North Star

Use when a project needs a north star, a finish line, or a definition of done.

Compatibility: Not stated.

Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

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

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    scripts/north_star.py, line 300 proc = subprocess.run(command, shell=True, cwd=cwd, capture_output=True, text=True,

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

    Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.

    scripts/jev_judge.py, line 132 with urllib.request.urlopen(request, timeout=timeout) as response:

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    scripts/jev_judge.py, line 26 TYPESAFE_API_KEY the credential. Also read from ~/.hermes/.env

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

    Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.

    scripts/jev_judge.py, line 82 return (os.environ.get("TYPESAFE_API_KEY") or dotenv_value("TYPESAFE_API_KEY")).strip()

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.
