Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

Claude Code, Skill

skills

Drive verbatra from Claude Code: the CLI, MCP and Studio skills, the verbatra MCP server over the current project with provider spending off by default, and a hook that reports broken placeholders, markup and ICU after a locale file is edited.

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.

SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

Why this grade

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    skills/verbatra-cli/SKILL.md, line 104 | `mcp` | only with `--allow-spend` or `VERBATRA_MCP_ALLOW_SPEND` (also read from `.env.local` and `.env`) | yes, through in-place edits | only when spend is granted |

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.
