Full Analysis
  • [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill provides instructions for the portless trust command, which modifies the system's root trust store by adding a local CA certificate. It also notes that the proxy auto-elevates with sudo on macOS and Linux to bind to privileged ports like 443.
  • [PERSISTENCE]: The portless service install command is documented as a way to register a native startup service using launchd, systemd, or Windows Task Scheduler, ensuring the proxy remains active across system reboots.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The documentation guides the agent to perform various shell-level operations, including modifying the /etc/hosts file via portless hosts sync and managing background processes through the portless run and portless alias subcommands.
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill directs the agent to install the portless package from external registries like NPM or Homebrew. These references point to official repositories from Vercel Labs.
  • [NO_CODE]: The skill consists exclusively of instructional markdown files and does not contain any executable scripts or local code files.
