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.

  • Declares what it does: failed

    No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.

    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 sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills at 5a4cdd9df8.

    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 provides a minimal Linux environment within Windows, leveraging BusyBox. It allows the AI agent to execute common Unix commands and utilities directly on a Windows system, facilitating tasks that might otherwise require a separate virtual machine or container. This includes file manipulation, basic scripting, and simple process management.

When to use it

  • Simple File Operations: When you need an agent to quickly rename, copy, or delete files without relying on complex Windows APIs.
  • Basic Scripting Tasks: For executing small shell scripts that automate repetitive actions within a Windows environment.
  • Command-Line Tool Execution: When the agent needs to run utilities like grep, sed, or awk for text processing tasks.
  • Testing and Debugging: Quickly test simple commands or scripts without setting up a full development environment.

Key capabilities

  • Execution of BusyBox commands
  • File system access within Windows
  • Basic shell scripting support
  • Minimal resource footprint

Example prompts

  • "Run ls -l in the current directory."
  • "Create a file named 'test.txt' and add the text 'Hello, world!'"
  • "Execute the script 'my_script.sh'."

Tips & gotchas

  • The BusyBox environment is limited compared to a full Linux distribution; complex tasks may require alternative solutions.
  • Ensure that file paths are correctly formatted for the Windows environment when interacting with the file system.
