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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: github.com.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    github.comsource host

  • 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 dalehurley/phpbot at 6128f14773.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The dalehurley-markitdown skill provides markdown formatting capabilities to AI agents. It allows users to input plain text and receive a formatted version with headings, lists, and other common markdown elements rendered appropriately. This enhances the presentation of information generated by the agent.

When to use it

  • You need to format unstructured text into a more readable document.
  • You want to generate reports or summaries that include clear headings and lists.
  • You're creating content for platforms that support markdown, like documentation sites or forums.
  • You’re working with an agent that needs to produce structured output from raw data.

Key capabilities

  • Markdown formatting
  • Rendering of common markdown elements (headings, lists)

Example prompts

  • "Format this text as a markdown document: [paste plain text here]"
  • "Can you create a markdown list of these items: apple, banana, cherry?"
  • "Please format the following into a markdown report with headings for each section: [paste content]"

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on the quality and structure of the input text. Complex or highly unstructured data may require pre-processing before being passed to the skill.
