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 azure12355/weilan-skills at eb65422261.

    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-researcher skill allows AI agents to search and retrieve information directly from public GitHub repositories. It can find specific files, code snippets, or documentation based on keywords and repository names. This enables efficient access to open-source projects and developer resources.

When to use it

  • Troubleshooting: Quickly locate relevant discussions or code examples within a project's issues or commit history.
  • Learning new technologies: Find example implementations of libraries or frameworks hosted on GitHub.
  • Code discovery: Search for specific algorithms or patterns implemented in open-source projects.
  • Documentation research: Locate and retrieve documentation files from GitHub repositories.

Key capabilities

  • Search public GitHub repositories by keyword.
  • Retrieve file contents from specified repositories.
  • Access code snippets within repositories.
  • Find relevant discussions and issues related to a repository or topic.

Example prompts

  • "Find the README file for the 'tensorflow' repository on GitHub."
  • "Show me examples of how to use the 'requests' library in Python, from public GitHub projects."
  • "Search GitHub for repositories containing code that implements the A* search algorithm."

Tips & gotchas

The skill only works with public GitHub repositories. It cannot access private or internal codebases. Ensure your prompt is specific enough to narrow down the search results and improve accuracy.
