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 bagelhole/devops-security-agent-skills at 0365f57a07.

    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 automates database backup processes. It can create full, differential, and transactional log backups based on configured schedules and retention policies. The agent can also verify the integrity of backups to ensure data recoverability in case of failures.

When to use it

  • Schedule regular backups for critical production databases to prevent data loss due to hardware failure or human error.
  • Automate disaster recovery testing by restoring backups to a staging environment.
  • Implement compliance requirements that mandate periodic database backups and retention.
  • Create backups of development/test databases before deploying application changes.

Key capabilities

  • Full, differential, and transaction log backup support
  • Configurable backup schedules (daily, weekly, monthly)
  • Automated verification of backup integrity
  • Retention policy management for old backups

Example prompts

  • "Create a full backup of the 'production_db' database every Sunday at 2 AM."
  • "Verify the last successful backup of the 'development_db'."
  • "Delete all database backups older than 30 days."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the AI agent has appropriate permissions to access and back up the target databases. Backup performance can be affected by database size and server load, so schedule accordingly.
