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 dalestudy/skills at a11368b0a0.

    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 interact directly with GitHub repositories, allowing them to retrieve repository metadata, list files within specific directories, and read the contents of individual files. It serves as a foundational interface for automating code review workflows or gathering project documentation without manual intervention.

When to use it

  • Automatically extracting license information and recent commit history from open-source projects.
  • Retrieving specific source code files to analyze dependencies or identify potential security vulnerabilities.
  • Gathering repository statistics such as star counts, fork numbers, and contributor lists for data aggregation.
  • Fetching README documentation to summarize project functionality for internal knowledge bases.

Key capabilities

  • Querying public GitHub repositories by owner and name.
  • Listing directory structures and file names within a repository.
  • Reading raw content from specific files identified by path.
  • Accessing high-level repository metadata including description, language usage, and creation dates.

Example prompts

  • "List all Python files in the src directory of the octocat/Hello-World repository."
  • "Read the contents of the LICENSE file from the microsoft/vscode repository."
  • "Summarize the README documentation for the huggingface/transformers library."

Tips & gotchas

This skill is limited to public repositories; private repositories require specific authentication tokens that this basic implementation may not handle. Ensure your AI agent has clear instructions on which repository owner and name to query, as the skill does not automatically infer context from vague requests.
