Safety box score
Grade A, minimal risk: 0 of 100 risk points, rated 2026-10-21. 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 is a markdown-only product-prioritization skill: it reviews feature backlogs and ranks ideas, but it does not run code, access files outside what the user supplies, or perform actions on the machine. The main risk is simply decision-quality and any external framework links are informational only, not automated behavior.
| Category | Level | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Code & shell execution | 0 (none) | No scripts, shell commands, or code execution are included; the only content is instructional markdown. |
| Network access | 0 (none) | The skill does not download data or send data to remote hosts; it only contains reference links under "Further Reading". |
| Filesystem reach | 0 (none) | It only says to read files the user provides and optionally "Save as markdown"; there is no instruction to write outside the workspace or delete files. |
| Secrets & credentials | 0 (none) | It does not request API keys, passwords, tokens, `.env` files, or other credentials. |
| Privilege & persistence | 0 (none) | There is no sudo, global install, service registration, shell/profile editing, or OS-level change. |
| Instruction hijack surface | 0 (none) | The text contains no prompt-injection patterns like "ignore your instructions" or hidden/remote instructions; it only gives ordinary prioritization guidance. |
| Irreversible actions | 0 (none) | It recommends a top-5 ranking and analysis, but does not send messages, publish, deploy, purchase, or delete anything. |
| Transparency | 0 (none) | There are no binaries, minified assets, base64 blobs, or uninspectable installers; the entire skill is readable markdown. |
Before installing
- Confirm the repository contains only markdown/docs for this skill and no bundled scripts or binaries.
- If you plan to use the external framework links, review them manually; they are not fetched automatically by the skill.
- Check that the skill’s scope matches your workflow: it is for ranking feature ideas, not executing product changes.
