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 different-ai/agent-bank at edf977fb0a.

    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 allows you to author skills for AI agents. It provides a framework and tools to create reusable components that can be integrated into various agent workflows. The resulting skills can then be shared and installed by other users, fostering a collaborative ecosystem of AI agent capabilities.

When to use it

  • Creating custom actions: You need an AI agent to perform a specific task not covered by existing skills.
  • Sharing reusable logic: You've developed a useful function or process that you want to make available for other agents to utilize.
  • Building modular agents: You are designing an agent architecture where functionality is broken down into smaller, independent skills.
  • Contributing to the AI agent ecosystem: You wish to share your creations with the community and benefit from others’ contributions.

Key capabilities

  • Skill definition framework
  • Reusable component creation
  • Skill packaging and distribution
  • Integration with agent workflows
  • Community sharing platform

Example prompts

  • "Create a skill that summarizes news articles."
  • "Build an AI agent skill to translate text between English and Spanish."
  • "I want to package my existing Python script as an AI agent skill."

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires some familiarity with software development principles. While the framework aims for ease of use, a basic understanding of programming concepts will greatly enhance your ability to author effective skills.
