A fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find' - simple syntax, smart defaults, respects gitignore.
Security Analysis
high confidenceThe skill is an instruction-only wrapper for the fd file-finder tool; its requirements and install hints match its stated purpose and it does not request extra credentials or unusual privileges.
The name/description (fd - fast file finder) match the SKILL.md content. The instructions exclusively show usage of fd and common Unix tools. The SKILL.md metadata sensibly declares the fd binary and provides platform-appropriate install hints (brew formula 'fd', apt package 'fd-find').
Instructions stay within the tool's scope (searching and operating on files). They include examples that run arbitrary commands on results (rm, cp, convert, xargs, -x) — this is expected for a find/ fd helper but is potentially destructive if executed unintentionally. The skill does not instruct reading unrelated system files or environment variables.
This is instruction-only (no code files). The embedded install hints use well-known package managers (Homebrew and apt) and package names that match the project; no downloads from untrusted URLs or extraction of arbitrary archives are present.
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths and the instructions do not reference any secrets or unrelated environment variables.
The skill does not request always-on inclusion; default autonomous invocation is permitted by platform policy but the skill itself does not elevate privileges or modify other skills or system-wide settings.
Guidance
This skill is coherent and matches the fd utility. It's instruction-only and asks for nothing sensitive. Before installing/using: (1) be aware examples include destructive commands (rm -x, xargs rm) — only run commands you trust; (2) installing via apt may require sudo on Linux; (3) confirm you want the agent to run shell commands (if you restrict autonomous actions, avoid allowing the agent to invoke skills that execute destructive commands without explicit confirmation). If you only need help with examples/docs, no install or credentials are required.
