safeinstall-setup

safeinstall-setup is a skill for Codex from Mickdownunder/SafeInstall. It costs 49 tokens per session (499 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for enabling SafeInstall protection in an existing npm or pnpm project. SafeInstall is a package-safety tool that checks project policy and trusted files before setup changes are made.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check the required Node.js version, inspect the current protection status, explain proposed files, and initialize SafeInstall after you approve the changes.
Why use it?
It helps establish package-installation rules without overwriting an existing policy or ignoring trust changes. It also separates policy setup from enabling the host plugin hook.

Skill for Codex

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-setup 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

Set up SafeInstall

Last verified: 2026-10-01

Resolve this skill's installed directory from the host-provided skill location. The plugin root is two directories above this skill directory. Use that absolute root, never a guessed cache path or a global safeinstall binary. Quote all paths. Do not assume PLUGIN_ROOT is exported in an ordinary shell tool; it is a hook variable.

  1. Resolve the user's intended project to an absolute directory. If there are multiple plausible projects, ask which one. Check Node.js satisfies ^22.22.2 || ^24.15.0 || >=26.0.0, required by bundled signature verification. If unsupported, ask the user to select a supported runtime; do not install one or weaken provenance policy automatically.
  2. Call the plugin's protection_status with that projectPath. Report policy presence, trust drift, and the distinction between policy and hook activation.
  3. Explain the writes before asking permission: starter safeinstall.config.json and .safeinstall/ baseline/ledger. Existing policy is preserved; existing trust drift stops setup. Do not run setup without the user's authorization.
  4. In the project directory, run: node "<absolute-plugin-root>/scripts/run.cjs" cli init --no-guard --mode strict --json The host owns the plugin hook. Do not add duplicate project hooks.
  5. Call protection_status again. If drift is reported, show it and stop. Never approve drift, unlock trust, remove a lock, use --force, lower policy, or grant hook trust on the user's behalf.
  6. Tell the user to review and explicitly trust the bundled hook in the host's hook trust UI and start a new chat if needed. Installation alone does not enable enforcement. Do not report “protected” without observing activation.

No API key or package download is required by this plugin. Registry package checks still contact the project's configured registry. Local hooks protect supported shell-tool calls, not arbitrary code execution or all system installs.

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.
