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 anthropics/claude-plugins-official at 921c90ff92.

    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

example-skill

What it does

This skill serves as a placeholder or demonstration entry within the TrustedSkills registry, allowing users to discover and install capabilities for AI agents. It is part of the official Claude plugins collection by anthropics, designed to showcase how specific functionalities can be registered and accessed.

When to use it

  • Testing Integration Pipelines: Verify that your agent installation processes correctly handle new skill metadata before deploying production features.
  • Registry Exploration: Navigate the structure of the TrustedSkills platform to understand how skills are categorized and linked to their source repositories.
  • Documentation Validation: Check if the rendering engine properly displays placeholder content, titles, and descriptions for future custom skills.
  • Developer Onboarding: Use as a reference point when learning how to define the schema for new agent capabilities within the anthropics ecosystem.

Key capabilities

  • Discovery of installable skills for AI agents via the registry interface.
  • Integration with the official anthropics/claude-plugins-official repository.
  • Support for standard metadata fields including title, description, and author attribution.
  • Compatibility with the TrustedSkills platform's installation workflow.

Example prompts

  • "Help me install the example-skill from the anthropics registry to test my agent setup."
  • "Show me how to find and add a new capability using the official Claude plugins collection."
  • "What are the steps to verify that a skill like example-skill is correctly registered in TrustedSkills?"

Tips & gotchas

Since this is a placeholder entry, it likely lacks functional backend logic or specific tool definitions. Ensure you have access to the full anthropics/claude-plugins-official repository for actual implementation details rather than relying solely on the registry description. Always verify that the skill version matches your agent's compatibility requirements before installation.
