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 akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills at 276af751e6.

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

About this skill

What it does

The bash-script-generator skill creates functional bash scripts based on natural language descriptions. It can generate scripts for automating tasks, managing files, and interacting with the command line. The generated scripts are designed to be executable and address specific user requests.

When to use it

  • Automating repetitive file management tasks like renaming or moving multiple files at once.
  • Creating simple system administration scripts for backups or log analysis.
  • Generating scripts to interact with APIs or external services from the command line.
  • Quickly prototyping shell commands without manually writing complex bash syntax.

Key capabilities

  • Generates executable bash scripts.
  • Understands natural language descriptions of tasks.
  • Automates file management operations.
  • Supports system administration scripting.

Example prompts

  • "Create a script to back up all .txt files in the /home/user/documents directory to an external drive."
  • "Write a bash script that renames all files in the current directory starting with 'report_' to 'final_report_'."
  • “Generate a script to find and delete all empty directories under /var/log”

Tips & gotchas

The generated scripts should always be reviewed before execution, as the AI may misinterpret instructions. It's helpful to provide clear and specific descriptions of the desired functionality for best results.
