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 davepoon/buildwithclaude at fc03a95b41.

    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 automates tasks within GitLab, a popular DevOps platform. It allows you to interact with and manage your GitLab repositories, pipelines, and issues programmatically through AI agent prompts. Specifically, it can be used for creating merge requests, triggering pipeline runs, and updating issue statuses.

When to use it

  • Automated Merge Request Creation: Automatically generate merge request descriptions based on commit messages and branch names.
  • Pipeline Management: Trigger specific GitLab pipelines or workflows from within an AI agent interaction.
  • Issue Status Updates: Update the status of GitLab issues (e.g., "In Progress," "Resolved") based on agent instructions.
  • Repository Branching: Create new branches in your GitLab repositories with specified names and initial content.

Key capabilities

  • Merge Request Creation
  • Pipeline Triggering
  • Issue Status Updates
  • Branch Creation

Example prompts

  • "Create a merge request from the 'feature/new-login' branch to the 'main' branch, including a description summarizing recent changes."
  • "Run the 'test' pipeline for project 'my-project'."
  • "Update issue #123 to status 'In Progress'."
  • “Create a new branch named ‘bugfix/typo’ from main.”

Tips & gotchas

Requires authentication with your GitLab instance. Ensure the AI agent has appropriate permissions within GitLab to perform the requested actions; otherwise, operations will fail.
