Grade A, minimal risk: 0 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 documentation-only prompt for brainstorming monetization strategies. It does not run code, touch files, access networks, or require credentials; the main thing it does is generate business-model advice and validation ideas.
| Category | Level | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Code & shell execution | 0 (none) | `SKILL.md` contains guidance text only; there are no scripts, shell commands, or code-evaluation steps. |
| Network access | 0 (none) | No downloads, API calls, webhooks, or remote transmissions are specified; the only link is a reference in the reading list. |
| Filesystem reach | 0 (none) | The skill does not instruct reading, writing, or deleting files outside the project, and ships only a markdown file. |
| Secrets & credentials | 0 (none) | It does not request tokens, passwords, `.env` files, keychains, or other credentials. |
| Privilege & persistence | 0 (none) | There is no sudo use, package installation, service registration, or shell/OS configuration change. |
| Instruction hijack surface | 0 (none) | The file contains no instruction to ignore rules, hide content, or follow remote instructions; the scan hints about purchase examples are descriptive only. |
| Irreversible actions | 0 (none) | Although it discusses monetization models like "One-Time Purchase (Buy Once)," it does not itself ask the agent to buy, publish, post, deploy, or send anything. |
| Transparency | 0 (none) | No binaries, generated code, obfuscated blobs, or unpinned installers are present; the contents are fully readable markdown. |
Before installing
- Confirm the skill install only adds `SKILL.md` and no executable scripts or installers.
- Read `SKILL.md` once to verify it stays advisory and contains no hidden remote-fetch or action-taking instructions.
