ocas-finch@1.0.0

CAUTION

Publisher claims: "OCAS self-improvement orchestrator (Darwin's finch — adaptive evolution). Mines session JSONL files to detect corrections, breakthroughs, methodologies, course-changes, and behavioral directives (Always/Never). Routes each finding to the optimal storage tier: MEMORY.md, skill files, reference files, or Chronicle KG. Compacts MEMORY.md by routing entries to the correct tier. Part of the OCAS System Evolution Layer alongside Mentor, Fellow, and Forge. NOT for real-time behavioral adaptation, skill evaluation, or skill creation." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (1 scenario) on 2026-10-30 and scored it 73/100 (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; Instructs the agent to modify its persistent memory or instruction files; Access to sensitive file paths. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
