typosquat

Skill name 'anthropics-frontend-design' impersonates Anthropic (the AI company) by appending 's' to the brand name. The package has 0 stars, 0 contributors, no license, unknown owner account age, empty owner/repo fields, is not listed on the registry, and is not org-verified — all hallmarks of a typosquat package mimicking a trusted brand. (location: metadata.json: skill_name field)

medium

description injection

The skill_description is set to 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1' — an HTML viewport meta tag attribute, not a legitimate skill description. This nonsensical value suggests either automated scraping that injected HTML metadata as the description, or a deliberate attempt to confuse agent parsers processing skill descriptions. (location: metadata.json: skill_description field)

high

scope violation

SKILL.md is completely empty (0 lines), meaning the skill provides zero documentation of its capabilities or purpose. Combined with the typosquatted name, empty owner/repo fields, and no registry listing, this skill has no legitimate declared scope — any behavior it exhibits would be undocumented and therefore a scope violation by definition. The claimed 7.69M install count is not credible given 0 stars, 0 forks, and 0 contributors. (location: SKILL.md)

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

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

Is smithery/ai/anthropics-frontend-design safe for AI agents to use?

smithery/ai/anthropics-frontend-design currently scores 23/100 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.
