 "summary": "Follow the habit seen in the field of checking a fresh repo's scripts before running an unknown skill.",
 "who": "Cautious developer about to install a viral agent skill from a days-old repo",
 "problem": "New skills run code with your agent's access, and a trending repo can still hide risky scripts.",
 "outcome": "A checked install where you have read the install scripts and hooks and ran it in an isolated environment first.",
 "steps": [
  "Clone or download the repo and read SKILL.md and any install scripts first.",
  "Look for auto-run hooks, odd obfuscation or hidden characters in the files.",
  "Install in a throwaway project or sandbox: npx skills add wheresryan22/anatomy",
  "Only install globally with -g after you are comfortable."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Review the wheresryan22/anatomy repo for install scripts, auto-run hooks, hidden Unicode and obfuscation, and summarize anything risky before I install it. List the files you checked.",

 "time": "1 hour",
 "basis": "field",
 "caveat": "A review is only as good as what you read, and the README says the kit uses no npm dependencies, so confirm that yourself.",

  "Security & Science"
 ],
 "lang": "javascript",
 "requirements": [
  "An agent that supports Agent Skills: Claude Code, Antigravity, OpenCode, Codex or MiniMax Code",
  "Node.js 20.10 or later (the skills CLI itself may need a newer Node, 22.20 or later for version 1.7.1)",
  "Model usage costs from your agent account; the kit has no extra API keys or npm dependencies",
  "A browser to open the finished HTML pages (WebGL for the effects layer)"
