Risk Assessment

  • Install scripts present (install.sh, install.ps1) that modify system state
  • Persistent configuration modifications across multiple AI tool directories (.claude/, .cursor/, .codex/, .windsurf/)
  • GitHub Actions workflow (sync-skill.yml) for automated CI/CD operations
  • Multiple hook installation scripts (hooks/install.sh, hooks/install.ps1) for shell integration
  • MCP server components (mcp-servers/caveman-shrink) with JavaScript execution
  • Python scripts with CLI capabilities (caveman-compress/scripts/) that could execute autonomously
