Install target

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 aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts at 3f5182cfd7.

    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

The git-hooks-setup skill automates the installation and configuration of Git hooks within a repository, streamlining development workflows by enforcing rules at specific commit stages. It handles the necessary file placements and execution permissions to ensure custom scripts run automatically during standard Git operations like committing or pushing.

When to use it

  • Enforcing pre-commit validation checks (e.g., linting, formatting) across an entire team's codebase without manual intervention.
  • Automating post-merge tasks such as running database migrations or updating documentation after a successful push.
  • Standardizing repository setup for new contributors by automatically applying security policies or build configurations on clone.
  • Integrating AI agents into the CI/CD pipeline to trigger code analysis or automated testing immediately before changes are accepted.

Key capabilities

  • Installs hooks directly into the .git/hooks directory of a target repository.
  • Configures execution permissions for hook scripts to ensure they run reliably.
  • Supports various hook types including pre-commit, post-commit, and post-merge.
  • Facilitates the deployment of custom logic defined in external script files.

Example prompts

  • "Set up a pre-commit hook in my repository that runs ESLint to check for code style violations before allowing commits."
  • "Configure a post-merge hook to automatically execute database migration scripts after a successful push to the main branch."
  • "Install and verify git hooks that enforce running unit tests prior to any commit being made."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your hook scripts are executable (e.g., chmod +x) before relying on the skill, as Git requires these permissions to run. This skill is best used in repositories where you have write access; it will not modify hooks in read-only or protected remote branches without explicit configuration.
