What the reviewer found
A Linux privilege-escalation pentest playbook (SUID, capabilities, cron, LinPEAS via curl|sh). The techniques are real but described for authorized testing, not executed against whoever installs the skill; dual-use, capped at low.

How this review was made
opus-4-8 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.
