A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## Questions

### Is Ink safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Ink and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 1d002db4db18, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/ink.

### How do I install Ink?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/ink on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/google-labs-code/design.md/tree/1d002db4db180bf3cf5e69b0cf9d776c9a823354/.agents/skills/ink. Install from that link, not the branch.
