Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts at 3f5182cfd7.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to generate structured operational runbooks based on provided context or specific incident scenarios. It transforms raw technical data into clear, step-by-step documentation for troubleshooting and standard operating procedures.

When to use it

  • Converting complex error logs or incident reports into actionable recovery guides.
  • Creating standardized checklists for recurring maintenance tasks within an IT team.
  • Drafting initial documentation drafts from unstructured meeting notes or chat transcripts.
  • Generating quick-reference guides for new onboarding processes based on existing system knowledge.

Key capabilities

  • Synthesizes disparate technical information into coherent operational workflows.
  • Structures output as clear, sequential steps suitable for human operators.
  • Adapts tone and detail level based on the specific use case provided in the prompt.

Example prompts

  • "Create a runbook for resolving high CPU usage alerts on our Linux servers using the attached logs."
  • "Draft a standard operating procedure for resetting user passwords based on our current security policy."
  • "Generate a troubleshooting guide for the '503 Service Unavailable' error in our payment gateway."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you provide sufficient context, such as specific error codes, system constraints, or existing policies, to generate accurate runbooks. The output is a draft and should always be reviewed by a human expert before deployment in production environments.
