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 gabeosx/agent-skills at 50a79c9eb6.

    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 devcontainer-helper skill assists with managing and interacting with development containers. It can generate .devcontainer configuration files, troubleshoot existing configurations, and provide guidance on using development containers within a project. This simplifies the setup and usage of containerized development environments.

When to use it

  • You're starting a new project and need help creating a basic .devcontainer file.
  • Your existing development container isn’t working as expected, and you need troubleshooting assistance.
  • You want to understand how to configure specific tools or dependencies within your development container.
  • You are migrating an existing project to use a devcontainer.

Key capabilities

  • Generates .devcontainer configuration files.
  • Provides troubleshooting for existing configurations.
  • Offers guidance on using development containers.

Example prompts

  • "Create a .devcontainer file for a Python project with VS Code."
  • "My dev container isn't mounting the volume correctly, can you help me debug it?"
  • "How do I install Node.js inside my development container?"

Tips & gotchas
