Questions
What does the Downloads skill do?
Content for sysinternals.com
Is Downloads safe to install?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.
What can Downloads access on my machine?
The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.
Which assistants does Downloads work with?
Its documentation mentions codex, copilot and cursor. That is what the text claims, not a compatibility test we ran.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (ea72b005c51e), read on 2026-10-14. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
