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 wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills at d6e77bb246.

    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 allows an AI agent to interact with an Arduino board via a serial connection. It can read data sent from the Arduino, display it in real-time, and send commands back to the Arduino for control or debugging purposes. The skill facilitates communication between the AI agent and physical hardware projects.

When to use it

  • Debugging Arduino code: Observe variable values and program flow directly from the AI agent's interface.
  • Controlling a robot arm: Send motor commands to an Arduino-controlled robotic arm based on user input or AI decisions.
  • Monitoring sensor data: Receive and display readings from sensors connected to an Arduino, such as temperature, humidity, or light levels.
  • Interactive art installations: Allow users to interact with an Arduino-powered installation through the AI agent's interface.

Key capabilities

  • Serial communication
  • Real-time data display
  • Command sending
  • Arduino board interaction

Example prompts

  • "Show me the current temperature reading from my Arduino."
  • "Send the command 'forward' to my Arduino."
  • "What is the value of variable 'sensorValue' on the Arduino?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your Arduino board is properly connected and configured for serial communication before using this skill.
  • The AI agent needs access to a suitable serial port; configuration may be required depending on the environment.
