Safety box score
Grade B, low risk: 21 of 100 risk points, rated 2026-10-19. 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 a read-only PR review helper: it resolves the active pull request for the current branch, fetches review/discussion comments, and summarizes them. The main risks are routine network access to the hosting service and use of the user's authenticated repo/PR credentials; it does not describe file edits, privileged actions, or posting back to the PR.
| Category | Level | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Code & shell execution | 0 (none) | `SKILL.md` contains only prose workflow steps and no shell commands, scripts, or code execution. |
| Network access | 2 (moderate) | It explicitly says to "Fetch review comments and discussion comments" from the "active pull request," which requires remote API/network access. |
| Filesystem reach | 1 (low) | The only local state mentioned is the "current branch" and resolving the active PR, implying limited read-only repo inspection with no writes described. |
| Secrets & credentials | 2 (moderate) | Reading PR comments typically uses the user's authenticated Git host account or token; the skill does not define scopes or isolate credential use. |
| Privilege & persistence | 0 (none) | No sudo, global installs, service registration, or shell/OS setting changes are described. |
| Instruction hijack surface | 0 (none) | There is no instruction to ignore policy, hide actions, or follow remote instructions. |
| Irreversible actions | 0 (none) | It only summarizes feedback and returns an action list; it does not post, merge, deploy, or otherwise act on the PR. |
| Transparency | 0 (none) | The skill is plain markdown only; there are no hidden, downloaded, or unreadable components. |
Before installing
- Confirm what Git host/API credentials the runner will use and whether they are read-only.
- Check whether the implementation only reads PR comments and never posts or edits anything.
- Run it once in a non-sensitive repo to verify it stays within the current project and branch.
