Automated safety checks
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.

About this skill
What it does
This skill enables AI agents to automatically configure GitHub Pages for static website hosting directly from a repository. It handles the necessary settings adjustments to ensure your site is live and accessible via a custom domain or default URL.
When to use it
- You have built a static site (HTML, CSS, JS) in a GitHub repository and need immediate deployment without manual CLI access.
- Your team requires automated CI/CD workflows that trigger page updates whenever code is pushed to the main branch.
- You want to quickly switch a project from local development to a live URL for client demos or testing.
Key capabilities
- Activates GitHub Pages source settings within a repository.
- Configures custom domains and CNAME files automatically.
- Sets build contexts (e.g.,
gh-pagesbranch) for proper routing. - Manages privacy settings to ensure public access.
Example prompts
- "Configure GitHub Pages for my 'portfolio-2024' repository using the main branch as the source."
- "Set up GitHub Pages for this repo and add 'myname.com' as the custom domain."
- "Enable GitHub Pages hosting on the
docsbranch for our documentation site."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your repository contains valid static files before configuring, or the agent may fail to generate a preview. If you use a custom domain, verify that DNS records are correctly pointed to GitHub's nameservers after configuration completes.
