Install target

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 curiouslearner/devkit at 3fa45b7ab3.

    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 curiouslearner-commit-helper skill assists with generating Git commit messages. It can analyze changes, suggest concise summaries, and format messages according to conventional commit guidelines. This helps maintain a clean and understandable project history by automating the often tedious process of crafting good commit messages.

When to use it

  • Automating repetitive tasks: Use it when making small or incremental changes where formulating a detailed commit message feels like overkill.
  • Ensuring consistent formatting: Enforce conventional commit standards across your team with automated suggestions.
  • Generating initial drafts: Leverage the skill to create a starting point for more complex commit messages that you can then refine.
  • Working on large changesets: The skill can help break down larger changes into logical commits and generate appropriate messages for each.

Key capabilities

  • Generates concise commit summaries based on code changes.
  • Formats commit messages according to conventional commit guidelines (not specified in detail).
  • Analyzes diffs to understand the nature of modifications.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a commit message for these changes."
  • "Create a conventional commit message summarizing this patch."
  • "Suggest a short description for my last commit."

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on the clarity and structure of your code changes. It is best used in conjunction with clear, well-defined commits rather than attempting to summarize massive or poorly organized modifications.
