Audit your Mac's outbound connections to detect unauthorized AI tool data collection.

Is this your creation?

Description

A specialized audit prompt designed for Claude Code that scans outbound system connections, background processes, and browser extensions to identify unauthorized data transmission. The maker demonstrates using it to find 'spyware' behavior in popular AI tools, subsequently replacing them with local-first alternatives like Ollama running DeepSeek-R1 and Qwen, managed through Open WebUI.
