Frontend Tooling Trust Gate

Use this skill before installing or recommending a repo, package, MCP, plugin, template, or script.

Trust Classes

  • preferred: official or clearly reputable.
  • acceptable: useful, maintained, and reasonably transparent.
  • inspect manually: promising but insufficiently verified.
  • avoid: suspicious, stale, unsafe, or low-quality.
  • unknown risk: not enough evidence.

Inspection Checklist

  • Prefer official sources, verified orgs, and vendor-maintained repos.
  • Inspect README specificity, license, SECURITY.md, recent commits, releases, issues, and package registry links.
  • Inspect package.json, scripts, dependencies, and install instructions.
  • Use npm view <package> repository license version time maintainers when npm metadata matters.
  • Look for preinstall/postinstall scripts, broad permissions, telemetry, token requests, cookie access, or curl-to-shell commands.
  • Prefer project-local installs for frontend tools and libraries.
  • Avoid global installs unless the tool is an agent-wide CLI and the user explicitly approves it.
  • Never expose API keys, browser cookies, SSH keys, tokens, or private files to unknown tools.

Decision Output

Return:

  • source and type
  • trust class
  • evidence
  • red flags
  • install stance: install, project-local only, do not install, or needs user auth
  • safer official alternative if rejected

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take thegoat395/frontend-tooling-trust-gate from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
