BEFORE YOU USE IT
Risks to review before use
Credential handling
This Skill may use an account or secret. Inject credentials at runtime and keep them out of prompts, logs, and repositories.
External data boundary
Requests or page content can leave the local environment. Review target domains and avoid sensitive inputs.
Local changes
The declared permissions can modify files or execute commands. Start in a disposable workspace and inspect planned actions.
SECURITY
What the permission profile means
- Declared permissions: Run GitHub CLI, Network access, GitHub account.
- Review install scripts, executable code, and external endpoints before first use.
- Use least-privilege credentials and a disposable workspace for the initial run.
- SkillSignal has not independently executed or security-audited this package.
Not a security certification. External ratings are attributed references. SkillSignal has not independently executed or security-reviewed this Skill.
