What is codebase-to-course?

A Claude Code skill that turns any codebase into a beautiful, interactive single-page HTML course for non-technical vibe coders.

Data-security signals

Public, checkable facts about codebase-to-course — they show the risk surface, not what it does with your data at runtime.

  • Open-source — the code is publicly auditable on its public repository.
  • High access surface — as a Claude skill, it can run with your keys, files, environment and network.
  • Maintenance — actively published.
  • ?
    Independent exfiltration test — not yet independently tested by Oxavion.

Is codebase-to-course safe? The honest answer.

The signals above show what codebase-to-course can reach. But no public metadata reveals what it actually does with your data once it runs — that only shows up when you watch it in a sandbox. Oxavion runs codebase-to-course with planted canary secrets and watches every outbound channel, then emails you the evidence.

✓ Request received — we'll run the scan and email your report shortly.

We scan codebase-to-course in our sandbox and email your report. No install, no access to your systems.

How to tell if codebase-to-course is safe

Before you trust any AI tool with your environment, check:

  1. Is the source auditable? Yes — open-source, you can read it.
  2. Does it need your keys or credentials? Most skills do — so it holds them at runtime.
  3. Does it make outbound network calls, and where to? The repo hints at this; only a run confirms it.
  4. Has it been tested for data exfiltration? Not yet — this is the one you cannot verify from the outside.

The first three you can check from the repo yourself. The last — what it does with your data at runtime — needs a test. That is exactly what an Oxavion scan does →

Frequently asked

Is codebase-to-course safe to use?
It depends on what it does with your data at runtime — something a static look can't settle. Oxavion answers it empirically: we sandbox codebase-to-course, feed it canary secrets and data, and report exactly what (if anything) leaves. Request a free scan for a verdict on the version you run.
How does Oxavion test it?
An isolated gVisor micro-VM, a transparent egress gateway that captures HTTP/S, DNS and raw TCP, planted canary secrets/PII, and encoding-aware detection — aligned to OWASP LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS, calibrated to zero false-negatives / zero false-positives.
