Is setup-gaia safe to install?

Yes — setup-gaia is safe to install, with something worth knowing. Sonnet 5 read every file setup-gaia ships from gaia-react/gaia on 7 September 2026 and found nothing that acts against the person installing it; the static scan of its 26 rules grades it B.

What the reviewer found

setup-gaia post-init command, companion to gaia-init: same official astral.sh uv installer and the same scoped react-doctor cleanup rm -rf. It provisions a GitHub repo and branch protection and explicitly keeps the bot token out of the conversation/agent process ("non-negotiable safety rule"), so this is admin-gated infrastructure setup done with above-average care, not a leak.

What was read

The file as it ships in gaia-react/gaia:

What the static scan said

The scan flagged 3things. The reviewer kept 1 and dismissed 2 as false.

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.
