Is Anti Defensive Writing Skill safe?
- Python filesystem read
What to do: Nothing here argues against installing it. Grant the capabilities it lists only if you expect the tool to need them.
Anti Defensive Writing Skill is a directory analyzed by SkillTotal's deterministic static scanner. The scan found no malicious indicators. It can: filesystem read — capabilities are what the code can do, not a verdict on intent. Risk score 0/100 (low).

Automated static-analysis result. It can contain false positives and false negatives, and is not a claim about the intent of Anti Defensive Writing Skill's authors. Report a false positive.
Behavioral traits
How this component maps to the CSA agentic threat model. Descriptive — it never affects the risk score.
Findings (1)
The component reads files from disk.
version = json.loads((root / "plugin.json").read_text())["version"]
Why it matters: Usually legitimate, but worth confirming it can't be steered into reading sensitive files.
Fix: Confirm which files are read and that paths cannot be influenced by untrusted input to reach sensitive locations.
