vet-repo -- Repository Agent Config Scanner
Scan all agent configuration files in a repository for known malicious patterns. Use this when entering an unfamiliar codebase to assess agent-level security risks before trusting the repo's configurations.
What to do
Run the scanner script against the current project root:
python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/vet_repo.py" "$PROJECT_ROOT"
Where $SKILL_DIR is the directory containing this SKILL.md, and $PROJECT_ROOT is the root of the repository being scanned.
What it scans
.claude/settings.json -- hook configs (auto-approve, stop loops, env persistence)
.claude/skills/ -- all SKILL.md files (hidden comments, curl|bash, persistence triggers)
.mcp.json -- MCP server configs (unknown URLs, env var expansion, broad tools)
CLAUDE.md / .claude/CLAUDE.md -- instruction injection in project config
Output
Structured report with findings grouped by severity (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, INFO) and actionable recommendations for each finding.
When to use
- Before trusting a cloned repository's agent configurations
- After pulling changes that modify
.claude/ or .mcp.json
- As part of a security review of any codebase with agent integration
