| Package source | npm (@djolex999/vir-cli) | npm (claude-skill-antivirus) |
| Install command | npx -y @djolex999/vir-cli | npx -y claude-skill-antivirus |
| Bottom line | vir reads local files; restrict its folder reach, network access, and credentials before installing. | This tool helps reduce risk but is not a complete security solution; always review what permissions and data access a skill needs before running it, and assume some threats may not be detected. |
