What the reviewer found

GitHub repo-management skill whose gh/curl calls hit GitHub's own REST API (its stated purpose), reading ~/.git-credentials, ~/.ssh/id_rsa and $GITHUB_TOKEN only to authenticate to GitHub. The rm -rf targets a user-chosen publish-copy directory, not anything outside the project.

• 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.
