rekal
Skills and hooks for rekal: memory redirect hooks, session capture (rekal-save), project bootstrap (rekal-init), and maintenance (rekal-hygiene).
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.
NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP
Why this grade
- NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
README.md, line 115
The recall hooks run the released rekal from PyPI via `uvx --from rekal==<version> rekal hook <event>` (`uv` must be available; no separate `rekal` on the PATH needed). The pin mat - SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low
Mentions a .env file.
skills/rekal-init/SKILL.md, line 70
.env.example, .envrc - PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note
Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.
benchmarks/bench.py, line 197
subprocess.run([*git, "init", "-q"], check=True) - OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note
A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.
uv.lock, line 1

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.
