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 rysweet/amplihack at 84424457d5.

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

About this skill

What it does

The Anthropologist Analyst skill enables AI agents to analyze text data – such as customer feedback or social media posts – through an anthropological lens. It applies established frameworks like cultural materialism and interpretive anthropology, along with ethnographic methods, to uncover hidden user motivations, sentiments, and the underlying cultural systems at play. This allows for a deeper understanding of cultural practices, symbolic meanings, and their relationship to power and adaptation.

When to use it

Here are some scenarios where this skill would be valuable:

  • Cultural Conflict Analysis: To understand disagreements or clashes arising from differing cultural values.
  • Identity and Ethnicity Analysis: Examining the formation and boundaries of ethnic groups and identities.
  • Ritual and Symbolic Analysis: Deciphering the meaning behind ceremonies, rituals, and symbols within a specific culture.
  • Cultural Change Analysis: Understanding how cultures evolve in response to globalization or other influences.

Key capabilities

  • Applies anthropological frameworks (cultural materialism, interpretive anthropology, structural anthropology, practice theory).
  • Utilizes ethnographic methods for analysis.
  • Employs comparative approaches across different cultural contexts.
  • Considers concepts like Cultural Relativism and Holism in its analysis.
  • Distinguishes between Emic (insider) and Etic (outsider) perspectives.

Example prompts

Here are a few example prompts you could give an AI agent with this skill:

  • "Analyze these customer reviews of our new product using cultural materialism to understand underlying motivations."
  • "Using interpretive anthropology, what symbolic meanings might be present in this social media discussion about [topic]?"
  • “Compare and contrast the approaches to family structure described in these two documents.”

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill relies on understanding of anthropological concepts; providing context or background information can improve results.
  • Be aware that cultural analysis is inherently complex and nuanced, requiring detailed "thick descriptions" for accurate interpretation.
  • Results should be interpreted with consideration for the principles of Cultural Relativism – avoiding judgment based on external standards.
