Security

Grade A, and why

explainer-video scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

  "description": "Short explainer videos made with ManimCE, narrated when the speech plugin is installed and silent otherwise. The produce skill plans the beats, writes one scene script whose scene changes follow the narration's word timings, renders at low quality first, muxes narration and captions with ffmpeg, and checks every render with ffprobe and a frame read-back. A SessionStart hook installs the hash-locked Python packages; the check skill reports readiness.",

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
