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 bycli/gh-checkproxy at 93e1e68422.

    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 gh-checkproxy skill allows an AI agent to verify if a given proxy is functional and working correctly. It checks connectivity and response times, providing valuable information about the health of proxies used for accessing external resources. This helps ensure reliable access and avoids errors due to non-functional proxies.

When to use it

  • Troubleshooting connection issues: If an agent is experiencing problems connecting to a service through a proxy, this skill can diagnose if the proxy itself is the problem.
  • Proxy health monitoring: Regularly check the status of configured proxies to proactively identify and address potential failures.
  • Automated proxy selection: Integrate with a system that automatically selects proxies; use this skill to validate the chosen proxy before routing traffic.
  • Testing new proxies: Before fully integrating a new proxy into an agent's workflow, verify its functionality using gh-checkproxy.

Key capabilities

  • Proxy connectivity testing
  • Response time measurement
  • Functionality verification

Example prompts

  • "Check if proxy 127.0.0.1:8080 is working."
  • "Test the health of proxy user:[email protected]:3128."
  • "Verify that the proxy at my-proxy-server.internal is responding quickly."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires proper proxy configuration details (address, port, username/password if applicable) to function correctly. Ensure these credentials are provided accurately for successful verification.
