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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api.stripe.com.

    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.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

    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.

About this skill

What it does

The base44-cli skill provides a command-line interface (CLI) tool for encoding and decoding data using Base44. It allows users to easily convert binary data into a Base44 representation, which is useful for transmitting or storing data in environments that only support text formats. Conversely, it can also decode Base44 strings back into their original binary form.

When to use it

  • Encoding files for email attachments: Convert large binary files (like images) into Base44 format so they can be included as text within an email.
  • Obfuscating data in configuration files: Encode sensitive information like API keys or passwords using Base44 before storing them in plain text configuration files.
  • Converting data for web transmission: Encode binary data to transmit it over protocols that primarily handle textual content, such as HTTP.
  • Decoding Base44 encoded strings from external sources: Reverse the encoding process when receiving Base44 formatted data from another system or application.

Key capabilities

  • Base44 Encoding: Converts input data into a Base44 string.
  • Base44 Decoding: Decodes a Base44 string back to its original binary form.
  • Command-line interface (CLI): Provides easy access via terminal commands.

Example prompts

  • "Encode this file 'my_image.jpg' using base44."
  • "Decode the following Base44 string: SVYxJ..."
  • "Convert the contents of 'data.bin' to a base44 encoded format and save it as 'data.txt'."

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill requires a working command-line environment where the base44-cli executable can be invoked.
  • Large files may take considerable time and resources to encode or decode.
