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 an AI agent to interact with GitLab variables. It can retrieve, set, and potentially manage GitLab CI/CD pipeline variables, enabling automation of tasks that require access to sensitive information or configuration data stored within a GitLab project. The skill provides a programmatic interface for accessing these variables without direct manual intervention.

When to use it

  • Automated Deployment: Retrieve API keys or database passwords from GitLab variables during a CI/CD pipeline deployment process.
  • Configuration Management: Dynamically adjust application settings by fetching configuration values stored as GitLab variables.
  • Secret Rotation: Update and manage sensitive credentials stored in GitLab variables, ensuring secure access to resources.
  • Environment-Specific Settings: Access different variable sets based on the environment (e.g., development, staging, production) for tailored configurations.

Key capabilities

  • Retrieval of GitLab CI/CD pipeline variables.
  • Setting of GitLab CI/CD pipeline variables.
  • Management of sensitive credentials stored as variables.

Example prompts

  • "Get the value of the API_KEY variable from my GitLab project."
  • "Set the DATABASE_URL variable to 'new_database_url' in my GitLab repository."
  • "What is the current value of the DEPLOYMENT_TOKEN?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires appropriate authentication and authorization credentials for accessing the GitLab instance. Ensure the AI agent has sufficient permissions to read or modify variables, depending on the intended use case.
