| Bottom line | writehuman is distributed via npm (writehuman); review its source code, dependencies, and requested permissions before use. | skill-review (agent skill) requires careful permission scoping — credential scope exposure: review skills may require read access to agent configs, skill definitions, or environment variables; ensure review itself doesn't over-privilege |
