# Invisible Ink

The code you reviewed isn't the code that runs.

A reviewer sees `if (role != "user")`. The compiler sees a string that ends somewhere
else entirely. An `admin` with a Cyrillic `а` is a different variable. A `SKILL.md`
can carry a sentence written in Unicode tag characters that no editor shows but an LLM
can read. This skill makes all of that visible.

## Prerequisites

- **None.** Python 3 runs the bundled read-only scanner [`scripts/invisible_ink.py`](scripts/invisible_ink.py).
  No MCP, no network, no packages.
