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 github/awesome-copilot at 6c4d33b9cf.

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

2 files, 7 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

The azure-role-selector skill helps users identify and select appropriate Azure roles for their cloud infrastructure needs. It provides guidance on choosing roles based on specific use cases, ensuring proper access control and resource management within Azure environments.

When to use it

  • When setting up new Azure resources and needing to assign the correct role for a user or service principal.
  • When auditing existing Azure roles to ensure they align with security best practices.
  • When troubleshooting access issues related to permissions in an Azure environment.

Key capabilities

  • Recommends Azure roles based on use cases (e.g., deployment, monitoring, administration).
  • Provides descriptions of built-in and custom Azure roles for clarity.
  • Helps enforce least-privilege principles by suggesting the minimal necessary role.

Example prompts

  • "What Azure role should I assign to a developer who needs access to virtual machines but not billing data?"
  • "Which role is best suited for monitoring Azure resources without making changes?"
  • "How do I choose between Contributor and Owner roles for my team members?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure you understand the scope of each role before assigning it, as some may grant broad permissions.
  • Use this skill in conjunction with Azure's built-in tools like Role Assignments or Azure CLI for accurate implementation.
