Grade A, minimal risk: 7 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 reads an interview transcript and writes a markdown summary in the user’s workspace. It does not request credentials, install software, or run code; the main impact is limited file writing and handling potentially sensitive interview content.
| Category | Level | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Code & shell execution | 0 (none) | No shell commands, scripts, or code execution are present; it only describes reading a transcript and formatting a summary. |
| Network access | 0 (none) | There is no instruction to fetch remote content or send data anywhere; the links under Further Reading are just references. |
| Filesystem reach | 1 (low) | It explicitly says to "Save the summary as a markdown document in the user's workspace," which is a bounded write in local files. |
| Secrets & credentials | 0 (none) | The skill does not ask for tokens, passwords, keys, or other credentials. |
| Privilege & persistence | 0 (none) | No sudo, global installs, services, or system settings are involved. |
| Instruction hijack surface | 0 (none) | There is no prompt injection language such as skipping confirmations, hiding actions, or following external instructions. |
| Irreversible actions | 1 (low) | It autonomously creates an output file, but only a local summary in the workspace and not an external action. |
| Transparency | 0 (none) | The skill is fully readable markdown; there are no binaries, generated code, or hidden runtime downloads. |
Before installing
- Confirm you’re okay with the skill creating a .md file in your workspace.
