What the scanner flagged

  • accesses sensitive system files
  • dynamic code execution (eval/exec)
  • mentions secrets in text

Not checked yet

  • Not judged on the rubric yet (not a contender in its category)
  • No blind task eval yet
  • Scope (portable / vendor / repo-internal) not assessed; only the top of each category is read for scope
  • Sibling files (scripts, references) not fetched; security scan covers SKILL.md only
