The plugin is a benign status-bar text/emoji widget with a CLI helper and config file. The deterministic scan's only finding is a `git clone` URL in the README, which is documentation and not executed by the plugin. The install/uninstall scripts do modify Omarchy configuration and remove a legacy plugin directory, but these actions are scoped, documented, and show no malicious behavior.

  • The README's `git clone` line is documentation only and is not part of the executable plugin code.
  • install.sh removes the legacy `dorneles.omabillboard` plugin directory and binary without prompting; this is scoped to that legacy plugin but is a destructive operation.
  • install.sh edits `~/.config/omarchy/shell.json` and restarts the shell; this is expected behavior and a backup is created, but it does modify user configuration.
  • QML code invokes shell commands via `bash -c` and `Util.execDetached`, but user-supplied values are sanitized and shell-quoted, so no command injection was found.
How this check works

This review combines the deterministic scan (the rule-based results above) with an independent look at the plugin's code by a language model. The model reads a trimmed sample of the repository's files, the manifest, and the README, then gives a plain-language risk level and a recommendation: install (no notable danger), review (look closer first), or avoid (clearly dangerous).

It runs on the same analyzed commit as the deterministic scan and is strictly advisory — it is not a security guarantee and never blocks a plugin by itself. A human moderator still reviews plugins before they are listed.
