package-trust-check

92 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a security skill usually runs scanners and checks websites.

By salemalem/npmscan-mcp-plugin (GitHub) · security · 503 stars · scanned at commit 231af0e

Investigate whether one specific npm package is trustworthy — maintainer/ownership takeover signals, publish-provenance mismatches, and risky install scripts. Use when the user asks if a single named package is safe, compromised, hijacked, suspicious, or "can I trust this" — not for auditing a full package.json/lockfile (see dependency-audit) and not for a plain factual question like "what does X do."

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'package-trust-check' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'package-trust-check' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named package-trust-check already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/salemalem/npmscan-mcp-plugin' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '231af0e6b8cc6fc624e795013937b762f3c5e075' -- 'skills/package-trust-check' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/package-trust-check' ~/.agents/skills/'package-trust-check' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'package-trust-check' ~/.claude/skills/'package-trust-check' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
