CAUTION· static only

Publisher claims: "Scan agent skill files for hidden instructions and prompt-injection patterns (EN/RU) before a poisoned skill rewrites your agent. 19 rules, zero dependencies. Use ONLY with the user's explicit consent: tell the user which skills folder will be scanned — findings are printed to stdout locally." Observed in sandbox: static analysis only — behavior not yet observed.
