Trust Assessment
soul-guardian received a trust score of 10/100, placing it in the Untrusted category. This skill has significant security findings that require attention before use in production.
SkillShield's automated analysis identified 15 findings: 9 critical, 5 high, 1 medium, and 0 low severity. Key findings include Persistence / self-modification instructions, Arbitrary command execution, Unsafe deserialization / dynamic eval.
The analysis covered 4 layers: Manifest Analysis, Static Code Analysis, Dependency Graph, LLM Behavioral Safety. The Manifest Analysis layer scored lowest at 0/100, indicating areas for improvement.
Last analyzed on February 13, 2026 (commit 13146e6a). SkillShield performs automated 4-layer security analysis on AI skills and MCP servers.

Security Findings15
| Severity | Finding | Layer | Location | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CRITICAL | Persistence / self-modification instructions macOS LaunchAgent/LaunchDaemon persistence Remove any persistence mechanisms. Skills should not modify system startup configurations, crontabs, LaunchAgents, systemd services, or shell profiles. | Manifest | skills/davida-ps/soul-guardian/scripts/install_launchd_plist.py:74 | |

| CRITICAL | Arbitrary command execution Python shell execution (os.system, subprocess) Review all shell execution calls. Ensure commands are static (not built from user input), use absolute paths, and are strictly necessary. Prefer library APIs over shell commands. | Manifest | skills/davida-ps/soul-guardian/scripts/install_launchd_plist.py:38 | |

| HIGH | Dangerous call: subprocess.run() Call to 'subprocess.run()' detected in function 'run_launchctl'. This can execute arbitrary code. Avoid using dangerous functions like exec/eval/os.system. Use safer alternatives. | Static | skills/davida-ps/soul-guardian/scripts/install_launchd_plist.py:38 | |

| MEDIUM | Unsafe deserialization / dynamic eval Decryption followed by code execution Remove obfuscated code execution patterns. Legitimate code does not need base64-encoded payloads executed via eval, encrypted-then-executed blobs, or dynamic attribute resolution to call system functions. | Manifest | skills/davida-ps/soul-guardian/scripts/soul_guardian.py:24 |
