What the reviewer found
forge-core's multi-agent orchestration SKILL.md: the flagged comment is a visible changelog banner disclosing when/how the file was appended, not a hidden instruction. MCP servers are described as dormant-by-default until the owner opts in, and skill enumeration is a disclosed, logged self-management routine; deploy/push/spend/credential actions are described as always requiring interrupt/approval, and the file states it never harvests .env or secrets.

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.
