Is Ara Compiler safe to install?

A free static scan against the OWASP Agentic Skills Top 10 found no risk patterns in Ara Compiler’s SKILL.md — no data-exfiltration, prompt-injection, or unexpected-execution signatures. The full security scan is below.

Installing & verifying

Installing Ara Compiler writes its SKILL.md to ~/.claude/skills/ara-compiler/SKILL.md; Claude Code discovers it automatically on the next session — no restart flag needed. It declares no allowed-tools restriction, so it inherits your session’s existing tool access rather than narrowing it. To confirm it loaded, ask Claude to list its available skills — ara-compiler should appear by name.
