critical

typosquat

Skill is named 'zod' — the exact name of the hugely popular TypeScript schema validation library (colinhacks/zod, 35k+ GitHub stars). Published by unrelated personal account 'pproenca/dot-skills' with only 52 stars, not listed on the skills registry, empty SKILL.md, and a nonsensical skill_description ('width=device-width, initial-scale=1' — an HTML meta tag fragment). This has all hallmarks of name-squatting on a well-known project name. (location: metadata.json (skill_name: 'zod', full_name: 'pproenca/dot-skills'))

high

scope violation

SKILL.md is completely empty — the skill defines zero documented capabilities, tools, or parameters. An agent skill with no description provides no way to verify what it actually does, making it impossible to assess whether runtime behavior matches stated purpose. Combined with the typosquat name, this suggests the skill is a shell that could serve as a vector for injecting arbitrary capability at install time. (location: SKILL.md (empty file, 0 lines))

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

Common questions teams ask before deciding whether to use this skill in agent workflows.

Is pproenca/dot-skills/zod safe for AI agents to use?

pproenca/dot-skills/zod currently scores 42/100 with a suspicious verdict and low confidence. The goal is to protect agents from high-risk context before they act on it. Treat this as a decision signal: higher scores suggest lower observed risk, while lower scores mean you should add review or block this skill.

How should I interpret the score and verdict?

Use the score as a policy threshold: 80–100 is safe, 50–79 is caution, 20–49 is suspicious, and 0–19 is dangerous. Teams often auto-allow safe, require human review for caution/suspicious, and block dangerous.

How does brin compute this skill score?

brin evaluates four dimensions: identity (source trust), behavior (runtime patterns), content (malicious instructions), and graph (relationship risk). Analysis runs in tiers: static signals, deterministic pattern checks, then AI semantic analysis when needed.

What do identity, behavior, content, and graph mean for this skill?

Identity checks source trust, behavior checks unusual runtime patterns, content checks for malicious instructions, and graph checks risky relationships to other entities. Looking at sub-scores helps you understand why an entity passed or failed.

Why does brin scan packages, repos, skills, MCP servers, pages, and commits?

brin performs risk assessments on external context before it reaches an AI agent. It scores that context for threats like prompt injection, hijacking, credential harvesting, and supply chain attacks, so teams can decide whether to block, review, or proceed safely.

Can I rely on a safe verdict as a full security guarantee?

No. A safe verdict means no significant risk signals were detected in this scan. It is not a formal guarantee; assessments are automated and point-in-time, so combine scores with your own controls and periodic re-checks.

When should I re-check before using an entity?

Re-check before high-impact actions such as installs, upgrades, connecting MCP servers, executing remote code, or granting secrets. Use the API in CI or runtime gates so decisions are based on the latest scan.
