This is a kaomoji picker overlay for Omarchy. It loads a local JSON file, filters kaomoji, and on selection copies the chosen kaomoji to the clipboard and simulates Ctrl+V to paste it. It also registers a menu entry by writing to the user's Omarchy config and running a refresh command. All operations are local and benign.

  • The plugin writes to ~/.config/omarchy/extensions/omarchy-menu.jsonc and runs 'omarchy-menu refresh' via os.system, but this is a fixed, non-destructive command.
  • insert.sh uses wtype to simulate a paste keystroke, which is expected behavior for a picker plugin.
  • No network access, obfuscation, or hidden malicious behavior 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.

AI advisory only — automated analysis, not a security guarantee.
