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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: 127.0.0.1.

    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 rodydavis/skills at 804913dcbe.

    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 provides instructions and guidance on building a WebRTC signal server using PocketBase. It leverages PocketBase's realtime SDKs built on Server Sent Events (SSE) to facilitate communication between WebRTC peers. The guide walks you through setting up the server, creating necessary collections within PocketBase (ice_servers, calls, offer_candidates, answer_candidates, and users), and configuring API rules for access control. This allows an AI agent to assist in deploying a basic signaling infrastructure for WebRTC applications.

When to use it

  • An AI agent needs to help deploy a simple WebRTC signaling server for testing or development purposes.
  • You want the agent to guide you through setting up PocketBase and configuring its collections for WebRTC communication.
  • The agent is assisting in creating a demo environment for WebRTC functionality.
  • You're looking for an alternative to Firebase for your WebRTC signaling needs, and want assistance with the PocketBase implementation.

Key capabilities

  • Provides step-by-step instructions for setting up a PocketBase server.
  • Guides users through creating specific collections (ice_servers, calls, offer_candidates, answer_candidates, users) within PocketBase.
  • Explains how to configure API rules for access control and data validation.
  • Offers guidance on initial user creation within the PocketBase admin interface.

Example prompts

  • "Can you guide me through setting up a WebRTC signal server using PocketBase?"
  • "How do I create the 'calls' collection in my PocketBase database for this WebRTC example?"
  • "What are the API rules needed to restrict access to the 'ice_servers' collection?"

Tips & gotchas

  • You will need to download and configure the PocketBase binary separately. Instructions are provided within the source content.
  • On MacOS, you may need to explicitly allow the downloaded PocketBase executable to run.
  • The example uses a predefined username and password for initial setup; remember to change these for production use.
