safeinstall-install

safeinstall-install is a skill for Codex from Mickdownunder/SafeInstall. It costs 49 tokens per session (514 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An installation workflow that adds npm or pnpm dependencies through SafeInstall's policy and artifact checks. Dependencies are third-party packages that a project needs to build or run.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install production or development dependencies in a project or workspace after checking each requested package and confirming the intended scope.
Why use it?
It prevents installation when a package check is blocked, unavailable, or fails, and avoids silently changing package managers or bypassing project policy.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

safeinstall-install scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Install through SafeInstall

Last verified: 2026-10-01

Resolve the installed plugin root from this skill's file location (two directories above its directory) and the intended project to absolute paths. Do not guess cache paths, rely on an ordinary shell having PLUGIN_ROOT, or invoke a global CLI.

  1. Identify the existing package manager from project metadata and lockfile. Preserve npm versus pnpm; ask when ambiguous. Bun is not supported for artifact-bound installation and must not be substituted with raw Bun.
  2. Call check_package for each requested package/version using the actual projectPath. Show warnings even for allow. On block, tool failure or unavailable tools: stop, report evidence, and do not install.
  3. Confirm the user's installation intent and scope (production/development, project/workspace). A request to check is not a request to install.
  4. Run in the project directory, with quoted absolute plugin path and quoted literal package arguments: node "<absolute-plugin-root>/scripts/run.cjs" cli npm install "<package@version>" --json or node "<absolute-plugin-root>/scripts/run.cjs" cli pnpm add "<package@version>" --json. Add --save-dev or -D only when the user requested a development dependency. For existing dependency installs, use the same wrapper with npm install or pnpm install; the engine evaluates the dependency graph itself.
  5. Preserve host approval prompts. The engine performs fresh policy evaluation, exact-version/SHA512 binding and lifecycle-script disabling. A previous MCP allow does not replace this gate. Report engine block/error output unchanged.
  6. Inspect the resulting manifest/lockfile delta and actual command exit status. Report what changed; do not report success based only on the earlier MCP check.

Never run raw package installs as fallback. Never request unsafe flags, enable lifecycle scripts, run npx/bunx, lower release age or provenance settings, disable the hook, alter the registry to evade a block, or approve/unlock trust drift. Workspace/unsupported flag rejection is a stop, not permission to bypass.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
