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 antjanus/skillbox at 12e4ea2915.

    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

The generate-skill skill allows AI agents to create new skills based on provided descriptions. It can take a description of a desired skill, including its purpose and functionality, and generate the necessary code or configuration files for that skill. This enables rapid prototyping and expansion of an agent's capabilities without manual coding. The generated skill is ready to be installed and used within the agent’s environment.

When to use it

  • Rapid Skill Prototyping: Quickly create a basic version of a new skill to test its functionality before committing significant development effort.
  • Expanding Agent Capabilities: Easily add new features or tools to an AI agent by generating skills for specific tasks.
  • Automated Skill Creation: Streamline the process of building and deploying skills within a larger system, reducing manual intervention.
  • Skill Customization: Generate variations of existing skills tailored to specific use cases or environments.

Key capabilities

  • Generates skill code/configuration based on descriptions.
  • Supports rapid prototyping of new AI agent skills.
  • Automates the creation of functional skills.
  • Allows for customization of existing skill templates.

Example prompts

  • "Create a skill that summarizes news articles."
  • "Generate a skill to translate text between English and Spanish."
  • “Build a skill that can calculate shipping costs based on weight and destination.”

Tips & gotchas

The quality of the generated skill heavily depends on the clarity and detail provided in the description. Ensure the description is comprehensive, outlining the desired functionality and any specific requirements for the new skill.
