iterate@3.8.2
CAUTIONPublisher claims: "Fully automated multi-round code iteration with configurable N-dimension parallel review, onboarding/personalization, and a cross-assistant installer/update system with mandatory SHA256 checksum verification. v3.0 adds a dual-mode (the original iterate mode plus a defensive-programming mode via /iterate defensive) that performs normal incremental coding tasks with defensive discipline end-to-end." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
Is [email protected] safe to install?
KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (1 scenario) on 2026-10-23 and scored it 68/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Access to sensitive file paths; Access to sensitive file paths; Destructive file system command detected. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
