What the reviewer found

Skill for driving the Gemini web UI over local Chrome DevTools Protocol (curl to localhost:9222 only). The rm -rf targets a scratch dir, /tmp/chrome-gemini-profile, that gets recreated by rsync from the user's own Chrome profile on the next line; no host outside localhost is contacted.

What was read

What the static scan said

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.
