What the reviewer found

GitHub authentication setup skill (same content as the Cogitum copy): it reads ~/.ssh keys and ~/.git-credentials to use the user's own token with GitHub's API and stores the PAT in plaintext. Credentials stay local and only reach github.com; nothing is exfiltrated.

• credential-access — reads credentials
• network — calls the vendor’s API

How this review was made

Fable 5.1 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.
