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 laurigates/claude-plugins at 45d1d7dcf6.

    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

This skill enables AI agents to access and read specific blog posts or websites as external knowledge sources. It allows the agent to retrieve real-time information, author opinions, and detailed content from designated URLs during a conversation.

When to use it

  • You need an AI agent to summarize or analyze a specific article before drafting a response.
  • The user wants the agent to verify facts or gather details from a trusted industry blog.
  • You are building a workflow where the agent must synthesize information from multiple external web pages.

Key capabilities

  • Fetches content directly from specified blog URLs.
  • Provides the AI with context from external sources it cannot access natively.
  • Integrates specific website data into the agent's reasoning process.

Example prompts

  • "Read this blog post about the latest Python updates and summarize the key changes."
  • "Analyze the arguments presented in [URL] regarding remote work policies."
  • "Use this article as a reference to explain how the new API features work."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the target blog URL is publicly accessible and does not require authentication, as the agent may be unable to fetch blocked content. Always verify that the retrieved information aligns with the user's specific context before relying on it for critical decisions.
