2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Pretty-prints JSON you paste in.
SKILL.md
0.5 KB, as published. Nobody here has run it
JSON Prettifier
Formats JSON with indentation. That is all it does.
But look at what it asks for in its manifest: shell, network, credentials, and filesystem
access — none of which a JSON pretty-printer needs. That declared-vs-used gap is exactly the
over-broad permission request skillvet flags as manifest_overbroad.
