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 laurigates/claude-plugins at 45d1d7dcf6.

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

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to format messages for Google Chat using markdown. It supports basic formatting like bolding, italics, lists, and code blocks, ensuring messages are clear and visually appealing within the Google Chat environment. The agent can also create formatted tables in chat messages.

When to use it

  • Summarizing meeting notes with key takeaways presented as a bulleted list in Google Chat.
  • Sharing code snippets or configuration examples directly within a Google Chat conversation, properly formatted for readability.
  • Creating reports or updates that include data displayed in a table format within Google Chat.
  • Drafting announcements or instructions using bold and italic text to highlight important information.

Key capabilities

  • Markdown formatting (bold, italics)
  • List creation (bulleted and numbered lists)
  • Code block formatting
  • Table generation

Example prompts

  • "Create a Google Chat message summarizing the project status with a bulleted list of key milestones."
  • "Format this Python code snippet for a Google Chat conversation: print('Hello, world!')"
  • "Generate a table in Google Chat showing sales figures for Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure the AI agent has access to the necessary permissions within your Google Chat workspace.
  • Complex markdown structures might not be fully supported; simpler formatting is recommended for best results.
