colima — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited colima (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Colima provides container and VM runtimes (Docker, Containerd, Incus) on macOS with minimal setup. It runs a Linux VM and exposes the chosen runtime to the host.

| Operation | Command | |
|---|---|---|
| Start | colima start or colima start <profile> | |
| Start with SSH agent | colima start <profile> -s | |
| Stop | colima stop or colima stop --force | |
| Status | colima status -p <profile> | |
| List profiles | colima list | |
| SSH into VM | colima ssh or colima ssh -- <cmd> | |
| SSH with chained commands | colima ssh -- bash -c "cmd1 && cmd2" | |
| Get socket path | `colima status -p <profile> --json \ | jq -r .docker_socket` |
Colima creates Docker contexts per profile:
default → context colimawork → context colima-work# Switch context (global - affects all terminals)
docker context use colima-work
# Override per-session
export DOCKER_CONTEXT=colima-work
# Override per-command
docker --context colima-work psFor details, see references/docker-contexts.md.
