# Archive and compression packages

Packages that create, inspect, extract, or transform archives and compressed files.

- **Packages:** 216
- **Protected tools:** 0
- **Approval gates:** 1
- **Non-low risk:** 140
- **Updated:** 2026-08-03

## Why this package group is here

Archive and compression packages currently includes 216 package catalog entries. 0 have protected-tool coverage, 1 have approval-gate metadata, and 140 have non-low Geiger classifier findings. The grouping comes from package metadata, so it can stay current as that metadata changes.

## Generated source

This hub uses the same local package data as individual package pages: Nucleus package metadata, Homebrew enrichment, Geiger classifier output, secret-handling manifests, and approval-gate seeds where available.

## Review model

Use the hub to find command families that need tighter secret injection, approval gates, or manual review before agents run them.
