What the reviewer found

GitHub auth setup for the user's own account; the flagged ssh-keygen line generates a new key rather than reading an existing one. Worth flagging: its recommended method stores the personal access token in plaintext at ~/.git-credentials and a later helper greps that file back out to reuse the token for curl calls, which is weaker practice than an OS keychain even though the token never leaves the machine.

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

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.
