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 dawiddutoit/custom-claude at 17b45a90a6.

    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 enables Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) workloads to securely access Google Cloud services without requiring long-lived service account keys. It leverages Workload Identity, a GKE feature that allows pods to assume the identity of a Google Service Account. This eliminates the need for managing and storing credentials within your cluster, enhancing security posture.

When to use it

  • Automated deployments: Automate tasks like deploying applications or managing infrastructure where direct access to GCP resources is required from GKE pods.
  • Serverless functions on GKE: Securely invoke serverless functions running in GKE by granting them specific permissions via Workload Identity.
  • Data processing pipelines: Allow your data processing jobs within GKE to read and write data to Google Cloud Storage or BigQuery without exposing sensitive keys.
  • Integrating with other GCP services: Enable seamless integration between applications running inside GKE and other Google Cloud services like Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL, etc.

Key capabilities

  • Allows pods to assume the identity of a Google Service Account.
  • Eliminates the need for managing service account keys within your Kubernetes cluster.
  • Provides granular control over permissions granted to workloads.
  • Enhances security by reducing the attack surface associated with credential management.

Example prompts

  • "Configure my GKE pod to access Cloud Storage using Workload Identity."
  • "Grant this pod permission to read from BigQuery using a service account identity."
  • “Create a workload identity for accessing Pub/Sub.”

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires proper configuration of Workload Identity on your GKE cluster. Ensure the necessary IAM roles are assigned and the Kubernetes Service Account is properly configured.
