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 undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: openstatus.dev.

    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.

      curl -s -L -X POST "https://openstatus.dev/play/checker/api?compact=true" \

  • 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 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 openstatushq/skills at 5dcffb236e.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

It can retrieve download and upload speeds, ping times, and other network performance metrics. This information is useful for monitoring global connectivity or troubleshooting potential issues.

When to use it

  • Website Performance Monitoring: Check website loading speeds across different geographic regions.
  • Network Troubleshooting: Identify areas experiencing slow internet connections.
  • Content Delivery Network (CDN) Optimization: Evaluate CDN performance and identify optimal server locations.
  • Global Connectivity Assessment: Gauge overall internet speed trends in various countries or cities.

Key capabilities

  • Real-time speed test data retrieval
  • Multiple location options for testing
  • Download speed measurement
  • Upload speed measurement
  • Ping time measurement

Example prompts

  • "What is the download speed in Tokyo?"
  • "Check internet speeds in London and New York."
  • "Give me ping times to servers in Germany."

Tips & gotchas

The accuracy of the results depends on the availability and reliability of the underlying speed test infrastructure. Results may vary based on network conditions at the time of the check.
