SKILL.md

This SKILL.md describes a legitimate literature-review skill whose declared capabilities align with the documented operations (multi-database search, citation verification, PDF generation). There is no direct evidence of obfuscated or malicious code in the text. Security concerns are operational: (1) mandatory use of the scientific-schematics skill (and the ambiguous 'Nano Banana Pro' reference) could route user-provided content to an external service without clear privacy/retention rules; (2) encouragement of Google Scholar scraping is potentially inappropriate and may lead to unauthorized data access or brittle behavior; (3) scripts referenced (verify_citations.py, search_databases.py, generate_pdf.py) are not included, so their network and file behaviours are unreviewed. I assess low probability of actual malware, but moderate security risk from data exfiltration or misuse if third-party backends or unreviewed scripts are malicious or misconfigured. Recommend: review the referenced scripts, require explicit documentation of third-party schematic backends and data handling, avoid/replace scraping guidance with official APIs, and add secure handling instructions for API keys.
