Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
The hidden-folder-audit skill identifies and reports on hidden folders within a specified directory. It can detect files or directories that are intentionally concealed, potentially revealing sensitive data or unwanted configurations. The audit provides a detailed list of these hidden items, including their names and paths, aiding in security assessments and system cleanup.
When to use it
- Security Audits: To proactively identify potential vulnerabilities arising from unintentionally exposed hidden files.
- System Cleanup: To remove or investigate hidden folders that may be cluttering a workspace or consuming unnecessary space.
- Configuration Review: To ensure no sensitive configuration files are inadvertently hidden within a directory structure.
- Workspace Hygiene: As part of a routine maintenance process to maintain a clean and organized development environment.
Key capabilities
- Hidden file/folder detection
- Detailed reporting (name, path)
- Directory specification
Example prompts
- "Audit the hidden folders in
/home/user/documents." - "Find all hidden files within my project directory."
- "Show me a list of any hidden directories under
/opt/app/config."
Tips & gotchas
The skill requires appropriate permissions to access and list the contents of the specified directory. Be mindful of potential false positives – some files might be hidden for legitimate reasons, requiring careful review of the audit results.
