Grade A, minimal risk: 0 of 100 risk points, rated 2026-09-24. The grade rates what the skill and its scripts can reach on the machine of whoever installs it, across eight categories from shell execution to secrets access. How the score works.
This skill is documentation-only: it gives an Ansoff Matrix prompt and structured guidance for strategy analysis, with no scripts, code execution, or file changes. The main exposure is simply the conceptual content it asks the agent to generate; there is no meaningful machine, account, or data risk in the files provided.
| Category | Level | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Code & shell execution | 0 (none) | The only file is a Markdown guide; it contains no shell commands, code, or executable scripts. |
| Network access | 0 (none) | It does not instruct the agent to fetch data or send anything over the network; the lone URL under "Further Reading" is just a reference. |
| Filesystem reach | 0 (none) | There are no read/write/delete operations or paths outside the project in `SKILL.md`. |
| Secrets & credentials | 0 (none) | The skill does not request API keys, passwords, `.env` files, or other credentials. |
| Privilege & persistence | 0 (none) | No sudo, global installs, services, or shell/OS settings are mentioned. |
| Instruction hijack surface | 0 (none) | It includes a benign persona prompt (`"You are a growth strategist"`) but no instruction to ignore safeguards, hide content, or follow remote instructions. |
| Irreversible actions | 0 (none) | The skill only analyzes growth options; it does not publish, deploy, message, pay, book, or delete anything. |
| Transparency | 0 (none) | The content is fully readable Markdown with no binaries, obfuscated blobs, or runtime-generated code. |
