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 dalehurley/phpbot at 6128f14773.

    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 an AI agent to add text to existing files. It can be used to log data, update configuration files, or contribute to larger documents programmatically. The skill specifically focuses on appending content rather than overwriting the file's original contents.

When to use it

  • Logging: Automatically append timestamps and messages to a log file for debugging purposes.
  • Configuration Updates: Add new settings or modify existing ones in a configuration file without losing previous entries.
  • Data Accumulation: Append data records (e.g., sensor readings, transaction details) to a file over time.
  • Report Generation: Append sections of generated reports to a master report document.

Key capabilities

  • Appends text to specified files.
  • Supports specifying the file path for appending.
  • Handles existing files without overwriting content.

Example prompts

  • "Append 'Error: Connection failed' to my_log.txt."
  • "Add this line to config.ini: [NewSection] Key=Value"
  • "Please append the current date and time to data.csv."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires appropriate file system permissions for writing to the target file. Ensure the AI agent has the necessary access rights before attempting to use this skill.
