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 trailofbits/skills at 82fe822625.

    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 identify and navigate around obstacles in a simulated environment. It uses automated testing techniques, specifically fuzzing, to discover unexpected behaviors or limitations when encountering various obstacle configurations. The agent can then adapt its pathfinding strategies to avoid these problematic scenarios.

When to use it

  • Robotics simulation: Test the navigation of a virtual robot through an environment with randomly generated obstacles.
  • Game development: Identify edge cases in AI character movement around level geometry.
  • Autonomous vehicle testing: Evaluate path planning algorithms when faced with unexpected objects or terrain features.
  • Virtual training environments: Ensure agents can reliably navigate complex and dynamic virtual spaces.

Key capabilities

  • Automated obstacle generation
  • Pathfinding algorithm evaluation
  • Fuzzing-based testing of navigation behavior
  • Adaptive path planning based on discovered obstacles

Example prompts

  • "Simulate a robot navigating a room with randomly placed boxes."
  • "Test the AI's ability to avoid chairs and tables in a virtual living room."
  • "Generate 100 different obstacle configurations and evaluate the agent’s pathfinding success rate."

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of this skill depends on the accuracy and realism of the simulated environment. Ensure that the physics engine and object representations are sufficiently detailed to capture potential navigation challenges.
