Security[Skill Scanner] Download or install from free hosting/deployment platform detected This DSPy skill's content is internally consistent with its stated purpose and shows expected capabilities for programmatic prompt engineering, optimization, retrieval, evaluation, and deployment. I found no evidence of obfuscated or malicious code, hardcoded credentials, or deceptive third-party proxies. The primary security concerns are legitimate privacy and data-exfiltration risks inherent to sending input data and training sets to external LLM providers and storing retrieved data/models locally without explicit guidance on protecting secrets. Users should treat API keys and sensitive text as confidential, secure persistent storage, and restrict runtime tool permissions (Bash/Read/Write) according to their threat model. LLM verification: Based on the provided SKILL.md documentation alone: there is no direct evidence of malicious code in this fragment. The content is consistent with a prompt-engineering SDK that requires LLM provider API keys and installs via pip. Primary security concerns are supply-chain hygiene (unpinned dependencies), handling of high-value API keys (users must avoid exposing secrets), and the unexamined risk of the referenced dspy-ai package at install/runtime.
