It doesn’t “need” to “copy it all”. Of course it has to (temporarily) send necessary code, but the coding agents I use have never just gone and read the entire repo from the first prompt. The whole thing doesn’t even fit in the context window.

I get what you’re saying about how you’re inherently trusting them by using their LLMs, but it’s different from pushing up the entire repo and git history to some server I didn’t ask for. The skill should ask if the user wants to upload to openAI “sites” or whatever the feature is called.

Getting a copy of everyone's code bases is part of the ai business. Use it for training, see what ideas people are developing to either copy or know where to invest. The list goes on. All to be fully monitized later on. No different than Facebook scooping up everyone's personal information.
