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 jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills at a7be181f58.

    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 automates the process of backing up databases. It can schedule backups to run regularly, ensuring data is protected against loss or corruption. The skill supports various database types and provides options for storing backup files in secure locations.

When to use it

  • You need a reliable way to protect your application's data from accidental deletion or hardware failure.
  • Your organization requires regular backups for compliance reasons.
  • You want to avoid the manual effort of creating and managing database backups yourself.
  • You are migrating a database and require a backup before making changes.

Key capabilities

  • Scheduled backups
  • Support for various database types (unspecified)
  • Secure storage locations for backups (unspecified)

Example prompts

  • "Create a daily backup of my MySQL database."
  • "Schedule weekly full backups and monthly incremental backups for the PostgreSQL database."
  • "Back up the MongoDB database to an encrypted cloud storage location."

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on proper configuration, including providing valid database credentials and selecting appropriate storage locations. Ensure that the AI agent has the necessary permissions to access both the database and the backup destination.
