gws CLI: Shared patterns for authentication, global flags, and output formatting.

Automated static analysis (no LLM) · v2.12.0 · 2026-10-23
SkillSpector looks for patterns such as shell commands, credential access, network calls or unpinned dependencies. An observation is something worth reading in the files before you install, not a confirmed vulnerability. Components that run code locally, like hooks, MCP servers and security tooling, naturally show more of them.
No observations.
