What the reviewer found
A read-only competitive-analysis agent (tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash; disallowedTools: Write, Edit) that curls public changelogs (cursor.com, aiders's HISTORY.html, HN's search API) and counts local skill/agent files to build a benchmark report. Nothing is executed from a remote host and nothing leaves the machine beyond public read requests.

How this review was made
Sonnet 5 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
