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 laurigates/claude-plugins at 45d1d7dcf6.

    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

helm-release-recovery

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to inspect, rollback, and recover failed Helm releases within Kubernetes clusters. It automates the retrieval of release history and execution of recovery commands to restore services to a stable state after deployment errors.

When to use it

  • A deployment fails due to configuration errors or resource conflicts.
  • You need to revert a cluster to a previous known-good version quickly.
  • An agent must audit the current status of Helm releases before proceeding with updates.
  • Automated pipelines require automatic recovery logic for transient failures.

Key capabilities

  • Inspect release history and current status of Helm charts.
  • Rollback failed or unwanted releases to previous versions.
  • Execute helm upgrade, helm rollback, and helm uninstall commands.
  • Retrieve detailed error logs associated with specific releases.

Example prompts

  • "Check the status of the 'payment-service' release and roll it back if it's in a failed state."
  • "List all Helm releases in the production namespace and identify any that are not active."
  • "Attempt to recover the 'user-auth' deployment by rolling back to the last successful version."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has sufficient permissions (e.g., helm CLI access) within the target Kubernetes cluster. Always verify the release history before executing a rollback to confirm you are reverting to an intended stable version.
