Skills give you superpowers. Install in 30 seconds.
Security check for skill packages. Every new skill must pass this scan before use.
Implemented in
scripts/scanner.py. Supports Windows / macOS / Linux.
Do NOT generate report files inside the skill directory.
Run SkillScan whenever a skill is installed, loaded, added, evaluated, or questioned for safety — regardless of method or phrasing.
Trigger examples: install, load, add, use, set up, "is this safe", upload .zip/.skill, paste SKILL.md, mention unknown skill name, install from hub/store.
Check
scripts/.first_run_done:
Not found → Tell user SkillScan is installed, ask to scan all existing skills:
python <skill_scanner_dir>/scripts/scanner.py first-run
.first_run_done is created automatically after completion.
Found → Skip, operate normally.
