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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No credential access: failed

    Touches credential material in 7 places.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • 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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: api.github.com.

    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 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 jackspace/claudeskillz at aef4e299d1.

    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 github-auth skill provides authentication to GitHub repositories. It allows AI agents to securely access and interact with GitHub resources, such as reading files or creating pull requests, without requiring direct exposure of personal credentials. This enhances security and simplifies integration with GitHub workflows.

When to use it

  • Automated code review: An agent can automatically review pull request changes against a repository after authenticating via the skill.
  • Repository file access: An agent needs to read configuration files or other data from a private GitHub repository.
  • Creating and managing issues/pull requests: The agent is tasked with creating new issues or pull requests in a GitHub repository.
  • Automated deployments: An agent triggers deployment pipelines by interacting with repositories on GitHub.

Key capabilities

  • GitHub authentication
  • Secure credential management
  • Repository access

Example prompts

  • "Authenticate to the 'my-org/my-repo' GitHub repository."
  • "Read the config.yml file from the 'my-org/my-repo' repository."
  • "Create a pull request in 'my-org/my-repo' with changes from branch 'feature'."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires proper configuration of GitHub credentials within the agent environment.
  • Ensure the authenticated user or application has the necessary permissions on the target GitHub repository.
