Search your professional network and research people using the Happenstance API.
Security Analysis
medium confidenceThe skill's requests (curl + a single HAPPENSTANCE_API_KEY) and runtime instructions align with its stated purpose of calling the Happenstance API, but the package has no listed homepage or known source so provenance cannot be verified.
The name/description, required binary (curl), and single required env var (HAPPENSTANCE_API_KEY) are appropriate for a wrapper around the Happenstance API. However the skill metadata lists no homepage and the source is unknown, which reduces confidence in the publisher.
SKILL.md contains explicit curl-based API calls, polling instructions, and guidance limited to the Happenstance endpoints (api.happenstance.ai). It does not instruct reading local files, harvesting other environment variables, or sending data to unrelated external endpoints.
No install spec or code files — instruction-only. This minimizes on-disk persistence and the skill only relies on an existing curl binary.
Only the HAPPENSTANCE_API_KEY is required and declared as the primary credential, which is proportional for an API client. No unrelated secrets or config paths are requested.
always is false (normal). Model invocation is not disabled (default), so the agent could call this skill autonomously; that is expected for skills but worth noting if you prefer to restrict autonomous network calls.
Guidance
This skill appears coherent: it simply issues authenticated HTTP calls to api.happenstance.ai using an API key. Before installing, verify the provider and developer because the package has no homepage or known source. Treat HAPPENSTANCE_API_KEY as sensitive — create a dedicated key with the least privileges, monitor and rotate it, and avoid reusing other credentials. Be aware calling the skill can use paid credits (billing endpoints are referenced). If you have concerns about automated network access, prefer manual invocation or restrict agent autonomy. Finally, confirm Happenstance's privacy and terms (the SKILL.md links their developer docs) before sharing or researching people via this skill.
