Automated safety checks

scanned 28 Sept 2026

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 astronomer/agents at cbe1141f54.
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

The annotating-task-lineage skill enables AI agents to track and document the lineage of tasks, providing a clear audit trail of how data or processes were generated. It helps users understand dependencies between tasks, ensuring transparency in workflows.

When to use it

When debugging complex pipelines to trace where an error originated
When auditing data transformations for compliance or quality assurance
When building documentation for reproducible research or engineering workflows

Key capabilities

Tracks task dependencies and execution history
Generates lineage reports for auditability
Integrates with workflow systems to log task relationships

Example prompts

"Generate a task lineage report for the last pipeline run."
"Show me how this dataset was derived from previous tasks."
"Document the dependencies between all tasks in this workflow."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure that your workflow system supports logging task metadata for accurate lineage tracking.
Lineage data may become complex with large workflows, so consider using visualization tools to interpret it effectively.
