Install target

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 soborbo/claudeskills at 2b07d6a83b.

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

8 files, 448 lines
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 provides AI agents with capabilities related to celestial navigation and astronomical calculations. It allows agents to determine position based on star sightings, calculate planetary positions, and understand basic concepts of astrometry. The agent can also provide information about constellations and other astronomical phenomena.

When to use it

  • Simulating space missions: Use the skill to accurately model navigation for a virtual spacecraft or astronaut.
  • Educational applications: Help users learn about astronomy, celestial mechanics, and historical navigation techniques.
  • Worldbuilding & storytelling: Generate realistic astronomical conditions and navigational challenges for fictional settings.
  • Historical research: Recreate calculations used by navigators throughout history.

Key capabilities

  • Star sighting position determination
  • Planetary position calculation
  • Constellation identification
  • Astrometry basics understanding

Example prompts

  • "Calculate the altitude of Polaris from a latitude of 34 degrees North."
  • "What constellations are visible in the night sky tonight?"
  • "How would a navigator have determined their longitude using lunar distances in the 18th century?"

Tips & gotchas

The skill's accuracy depends on the quality and completeness of astronomical data available to the underlying AI model. Complex calculations may require iterative prompting or breaking down into smaller steps.
