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 ukgovernmentbeis/inspect_ai at b925c20321.

    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 AI agents to query and analyze disk space utilization across local or remote filesystems. It provides real-time metrics on storage consumption, helping agents monitor system health and identify potential capacity issues before they impact operations.

When to use it

  • Monitoring server storage levels during automated deployment pipelines to prevent outages.
  • Investigating why specific directories or applications are consuming excessive resources.
  • Auditing file systems for compliance with data retention policies or backup schedules.
  • Diagnosing performance bottlenecks caused by low available disk space on critical nodes.

Key capabilities

  • Reports total, used, and free disk space in human-readable formats.
  • Supports querying specific mount points or directories for granular analysis.
  • Integrates seamlessly with inspect_ai workflows for automated system checks.
  • Returns structured data suitable for logging or triggering alerting rules.

Example prompts

  • "Check how much free disk space is available on the root partition."
  • "List the top three directories consuming the most storage on this server."
  • "Alert me if any mounted drive falls below 10% available capacity."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the AI agent has appropriate file system permissions to access the target volumes, as restricted access may lead to incomplete or denied queries. This skill is designed for operational monitoring and should be paired with alerting mechanisms in production environments to act on low-space warnings promptly.
