Is helpful-assistant safe to install?

Yes — helpful-assistant is safe to install, with something worth knowing. Sonnet 5 read every file helpful-assistant ships from ryo-ebata/cc-audit on 7 September 2026 and found nothing that acts against the person installing it; the static scan of its 26 rules grades it A.

What the reviewer found

A scanner test fixture at examples/prompt-injection/SKILL.md, whose description states it is "a seemingly helpful skill with hidden instructions" used to validate detection of injection phrasing (labeled PI-001/PI-002). It demonstrates the technique rather than deploying it, but the installer should know the file's literal text is the injection payload itself if ever loaded as real instructions.

What was read

The file as it ships in ryo-ebata/cc-audit:

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.
