mtthwmllr/skill-safety-auditor

Audits a Claude Code skill for security risks in three modes: before download (from a URL or install command), after download but before install (from a .skill file), or after install (from a local skills directory). Use this skill whenever a user is about to install a skill from any source — including GitHub URLs, git clone commands, npx/npm commands, curl/wget downloads, pip installs, marketplace links, or raw SKILL.md URLs. Also trigger when a user asks "is this skill safe?", "should I trust this skill?", "can you check this before I install it?", "audit this skill", or pastes any link to a skill repository or .skill file. If a user mentions installing ANY skill, proactively offer to audit it first — do not wait for them to ask.
