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 dawsson/airlock at 98ea9e5e59.

    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 dawsson-airlock skill provides a mechanism to isolate and manage AI agent conversations, preventing them from affecting the overall context or memory. It allows for creating temporary "sandboxes" where agents can operate without influencing other tasks or interactions. This is useful for testing new prompts, simulating scenarios, or running independent processes within an AI workflow.

When to use it

  • Testing new prompts: Evaluate a prompt's impact in isolation before integrating it into a larger system.
  • Simulating specific scenarios: Create controlled environments for agents to practice or demonstrate skills without external interference.
  • Running independent tasks: Execute separate AI processes that shouldn’t share context with other ongoing operations.

Key capabilities

  • Conversation Isolation: Creates isolated conversational spaces.
  • Context Management: Prevents cross-contamination of agent memory and context.
  • Sandbox Environment: Provides a temporary, controlled environment for AI interactions.

Example prompts

  • "Create an airlock session to test this new creative writing prompt."
  • "Run the 'customer service' skill in an isolated airlock."
  • "Start a new airlock and have the agent roleplay as a medieval knight."

Tips & gotchas

The dawsson-airlock skill requires careful management of session lifecycles. Ensure you properly terminate or reset airlocks after use to avoid resource leaks or unexpected behavior.
