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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: console.anthropic.com, console.cloud.google.com.

    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.

  • 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 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 oaustegard/claude-skills at 576f2c83f0.

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

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to securely manage and utilize API credentials. It facilitates storing, retrieving, and rotating these credentials without exposing them directly in prompts or code. This enhances security and simplifies integration with various external services.

When to use it

  • Connecting to a database: When your agent needs to query data from an external database (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL).
  • Sending emails via SMTP: Securely access email sending capabilities through an SMTP server.
  • Accessing third-party APIs: Integrate with services like OpenAI, Google Maps, or other APIs requiring authentication.
  • Automating cloud resource management: Manage resources in AWS, Azure, or GCP using their respective API credentials.

Key capabilities

  • Secure storage of API keys and passwords
  • Retrieval of credentials on demand
  • Credential rotation (not explicitly detailed, but implied by secure management)

Example prompts

  • "Retrieve the PostgreSQL database password."
  • "Get the OpenAI API key for image generation."
  • "What is the SMTP username?"

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires initial configuration to store the credentials it manages. Ensure proper access controls are in place to prevent unauthorized credential retrieval.
