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 martinholovsky/claude-skills-generator at 1086ef2567.

    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 enables an AI agent to interact with system services via D-Bus, a message bus system. It allows for control and monitoring of applications and hardware by facilitating method calls, signals, and property access on various services. The skill has deep expertise in the D-Bus protocol, security policies, and understanding of both session (user) and system (privileged) buses.

When to use it

  • Controlling a notification service to display messages.
  • Querying hardware status via a monitoring service.
  • Interacting with a user interface element exposed through D-Bus.
  • Automating tasks that require communication between system services.

Key capabilities

  • D-Bus Protocol Expertise: Deep understanding of message bus systems, object paths, and interfaces.
  • Bus Type Management: Ability to utilize both session (user) and system (privileged) buses.
  • Service Interaction: Facilitates method calls, signals, and property access.
  • Security Policy Enforcement: Adheres to D-Bus security policies and access control mechanisms.

Example prompts

  • "Can you send a notification saying 'Task completed'?"
  • "What is the current battery level of my laptop?"
  • "List all running services on the system bus."
  • "Invoke the method org.freedesktop.Notifications.Notify with these parameters..."

Tips & gotchas

  • Security: This skill requires careful handling due to its access to privileged operations. Always validate service targets and prefer using the session bus whenever possible.
  • Privilege Restrictions: Accessing system services (System Bus) typically requires elevated permissions.
  • Service Blocking: The agent will block calls to certain privileged services like PolicyKit and systemd for security reasons.
