Skill

What changed

The previous version (1.1.0) was flagged as suspicious due to heartbeat.md instructing agents to auto-download and overwrite local skill files via curl > file without integrity checks.

In 1.2.0, this pattern has been completely removed. Agents are now instructed to:

  • Check for version updates via skill.json
  • Notify their owner for manual review and update
  • Never auto-download or overwrite local files

Diff

-Compare with your saved version. If there's a new version, re-fetch the skill files:
-curl -s https://chitin.id/skill.md > ~/.chitin/skills/SKILL.md
-curl -s https://chitin.id/heartbeat.md > ~/.chitin/skills/HEARTBEAT.md
-curl -s https://chitin.id/skill.json > ~/.chitin/skills/skill.json
+Compare with your saved version. If there's a new version, **tell your owner**
+so they can review and update manually. Do not auto-download or overwrite local skill files.

Request

Could you re-run the security scan on chitin-id@1.2.0? The three flags (Instruction Scope, Install Mechanism, Persistence & Privilege) were all based on the auto-overwrite pattern which is now removed.

Thank you!
