Is ai-science-toolkit CLAUDE.md safe to install?

Yes — ai-science-toolkit CLAUDE.md is safe to install, with something worth knowing. Sonnet 5 read every file ai-science-toolkit CLAUDE.md ships from dgilford/ai-science-toolkit on 7 September 2026 and found nothing that acts against the person installing it; the static scan of its 26 rules grades it D.

What the reviewer found

Maintainer documentation for a public Claude skills repo (sync scripts, Zenodo release process, CI linting). The flagged curl fetches a JSON DOI record from zenodo.org and pipes it to a fixed local Python parser, not to a shell; the RM finding's evidence is actually a ShellCheck lint description with no rm -rf in it. Only about 48KB of the file could be read, so risk is held at low rather than none for the unseen remainder.

The scan flagged 4things. The reviewer kept 0 and dismissed 4 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.
