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 andrelandgraf/fullstackrecipes at 4449331ed5.

    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

The better-env skill provides enhanced environment variable management capabilities. It allows AI agents to access, modify, and utilize environment variables more effectively within their operational context. This includes setting default values, retrieving specific variables, and ensuring proper configuration across different environments.

When to use it

  • Automated deployments: When an agent needs to configure a new server or application by setting necessary environment variables.
  • Local development: To easily manage and override environment variables during local testing and debugging of applications.
  • Configuration management: For agents tasked with maintaining consistent configurations across multiple environments (development, staging, production).
  • Sensitive data handling: When an agent needs to securely access or modify API keys or other sensitive information stored as environment variables.

Key capabilities

  • Accessing environment variables
  • Setting default environment variable values
  • Modifying existing environment variables
  • Environment configuration management

Example prompts

  • "Set the DATABASE_URL environment variable to 'postgres://user:password@host:port/database'."
  • "What is the value of the API_KEY environment variable?"
  • "Configure the application for production mode by setting NODE_ENV=production."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires appropriate permissions to modify system-level environment variables. Ensure the AI agent has sufficient privileges within the target environment to execute these actions successfully.
