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 bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills at 718070a7d6.

    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 DigitalOcean networking tasks, enabling AI agents to manage VPCs (Virtual Private Clouds), firewalls, load balancers, reserved IPs, DNS records, IPv6 configuration, and NAT gateways. It simplifies infrastructure setup and maintenance by providing programmatic access to these core DigitalOcean networking services. The skill allows for the creation of private network segments, secure traffic flow, and stable public endpoints.

When to use it

  • When designing private networks or segmentation using VPCs.
  • When securing inbound and outbound traffic with firewalls.
  • When configuring load balancing and DNS records for applications.
  • To manage reserved IPs for consistent public endpoints during failover or migration.

Key capabilities

  • VPC Management: Create and configure private network segments.
  • Firewall Configuration: Define inbound and outbound rules based on protocol and port, applying them to resources.
  • Load Balancing: Distribute traffic across backend resources with health checks and TLS termination.
  • Reserved IP Management: Assign and re-map reserved public IPs.
  • DNS Management: Manage DNS records for DigitalOcean and external resources.
  • IPv6 Support: Enable IPv6 for dual-stack networking.
  • NAT Gateway Configuration: Provide outbound connectivity from private subnets.

Example prompts

  • "Create a VPC in region nyc1."
  • "Apply a firewall rule to allow inbound SSH traffic on port 22 to my droplet."
  • "Configure DNS records for example.com pointing to my load balancer IP address."

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill requires authentication with your DigitalOcean account via API token.
  • VPCs must be created in the same region as your compute resources (Droplets, Kubernetes clusters, managed databases).
  • Consider using complementary skills like digitalocean-compute, digitalocean-managed-databases, and digitalocean-management for a more complete infrastructure management solution.
