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 grandcamel/gitlab-assistant-skills at bdb2745983.

    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

This skill allows you to interact with GitLab protected branches. It can check if a branch is protected, retrieve the protection settings (like required approvals), and potentially apply or modify those protections based on your instructions. The skill aims to simplify common GitLab administrative tasks related to branch security.

When to use it

  • Verify Protection Status: Quickly confirm whether a specific branch in your GitLab repository has protection rules applied.
  • Review Branch Protections: Get details about the current protection settings for a branch, such as required approvals or code owner restrictions.
  • Automate Security Checks: Integrate this skill into workflows to automatically enforce branch protection policies.
  • Troubleshooting Permissions: Investigate why a developer is unable to push changes to a particular branch due to protection rules.

Key capabilities

  • Check if a branch is protected.
  • Retrieve protection settings for a branch.
  • (Implied) Potentially apply/modify branch protections (details not explicitly stated).

Example prompts

  • "Is the main branch protected in my GitLab repository?"
  • "What are the protection rules for the release/v1.0 branch?"
  • "Tell me about the current protection settings on the develop branch."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires access to a GitLab instance and appropriate permissions to view or modify branch protections. Specific authentication methods will need to be configured separately.
