Repository

Install on your platform

This skill no longer installs under the name heygen. SKILL.md has no name/description frontmatter, so the skills CLI skips it.

We check each listing against its upstream repository with the rules the skills CLI uses, last on 2026-09-28. We don't show a command we know will fail.

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 failed 2 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.

  • Declares what it does: failed

    SKILL.md has no YAML frontmatter, so it declares nothing machine-readable.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: failed

    Runs code fetched at install time in 1 place.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

    What it found

    • platforms/nanoclaw/heygen/SKILL.md:14tells the user to run: remote script piped into a shell(in the instructions, not code)
      - `heygen` CLI — install: `curl -fsSL https://static.heygen.ai/cli/install.sh | bash`. Verify: `heygen auth status`.

  • 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.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned heygen-com/skills at 1bd5e4d33a.

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