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 dalehurley/phpbot at 6128f14773.

    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 compress files, reducing their size. It supports common compression formats and can be used to archive data or prepare files for efficient transfer. The skill aims to streamline file management tasks within agent workflows by minimizing storage space and bandwidth usage.

When to use it

  • Compressing large datasets before uploading them to a cloud service.
  • Reducing the size of image files for sharing on social media platforms.
  • Archiving old project files into smaller, more manageable zip archives.
  • Preparing files for email attachments that have size limitations.

Key capabilities

  • File compression using common formats (specific formats not listed).
  • Archive creation (e.g., ZIP files).
  • Support for various file types.

Example prompts

  • "Compress this image: [image URL]"
  • "Create a zip archive of these files: [file list]"
  • "Reduce the size of this document: [document name]"

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on the compressibility of the input file; some file types (like already compressed images) may not see significant reduction in size. Ensure you have appropriate permissions to access and modify files.
