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 rysweet/amplihack at 84424457d5.

    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 enables AI agents to access and extract data from websites that require user authentication, such as logged-in dashboards or private forums. It bypasses standard public scraping limitations by handling login sessions securely on behalf of the agent.

When to use it

  • You need to gather data from internal company portals where public access is restricted.
  • Your agent must retrieve personal profile details or transaction history behind a login wall.
  • You require access to member-only communities or subscription-based content sites.
  • Standard fetch or curl requests fail due to missing session cookies or tokens.

Key capabilities

  • Manages authentication sessions for protected web resources.
  • Extracts data from pages inaccessible without valid credentials.
  • Maintains context of logged-in states during scraping operations.
  • Operates within the security category to handle sensitive access patterns.

Example prompts

  • "Scrape my recent order history from the customer portal at example.com."
  • "Extract the list of active projects from our internal Jira dashboard."
  • "Gather user comments from the private beta forum thread ID 12345."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have valid credentials ready, as this skill requires a login to function. Be mindful of rate limits on authenticated endpoints to avoid triggering account lockouts or security flags.
