Code of Conduct · Contributing · README


Supported Versions

Security fixes apply to the current main branch of this repository.

Report Privately

Please do not open a public issue for security reports.

Use GitHub private vulnerability reporting if it is enabled for the repository. If it is not available, contact the maintainer privately through GitHub before sharing sensitive details.

Useful reports include:

Include Notes
Short description What can go wrong and who is affected.
Steps to reproduce Use minimal public-safe examples.
Affected files Skills, scripts, workflows, package metadata, or docs.
Logs or proof of concept Remove secrets, private drafts, and credentials.
Suggested mitigation Optional, but helpful.

Scope

In scope:

  • Scripts that could expose local files, credentials, drafts, or unpublished research material.
  • Workflows that could leak repository secrets or publish unintended artifacts.
  • Install or packaging behavior that could execute unexpected code.
  • Prompt or skill behavior that could encourage unsafe handling of private research data.
  • Citation, fetch, or workspace helpers that write data outside the expected local project area.

Out of scope:

  • Reports about third-party scholarly APIs unless the issue is caused by this package's code.
  • Social engineering, spam, denial-of-service, or scanner-only reports without a concrete impact.
  • Claims that require redistributing copyrighted paper content to reproduce.

Handling Expectations

The maintainer will acknowledge valid reports when possible, investigate the impact, and publish a fix or mitigation before encouraging public disclosure.

Please give the maintainer time to patch before sharing details publicly.
