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 rodydavis/skills at 804913dcbe.

    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

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to deploy PocketBase, a full-stack backend solution, to Google Cloud Run. It leverages recent support for mounting volumes in Cloud Run to provide scalable deployments with features like infinite storage and file versioning. The deployment process utilizes Google Cloud Build and integrates directly with GitHub repositories.

When to use it

  • You need to quickly deploy a PocketBase backend application.
  • You want to leverage the scalability of Google Cloud Run for your PocketBase instance.
  • You require persistent storage for your PocketBase data, accessible via Google Cloud Storage.
  • You're comfortable using GitHub and Google Cloud services.

Key capabilities

  • Scalable Deployment: Deploys PocketBase on Google Cloud Run, allowing it to scale automatically based on demand.
  • Infinite Storage: Utilizes Google Cloud Storage for persistent storage of PocketBase data.
  • File Versioning & Protection: Offers file deletion protection and versioning capabilities through the connected Google Cloud Storage bucket.
  • Integrated Backup Options: Supports backups either natively within PocketBase or by protecting the associated Google Cloud Storage bucket.
  • Volume Mounting: Mounts pb_data, pb_public, and pb_hooks directories to a shared file system via a Google Storage bucket volume.

Example prompts

  • "Deploy my forked PocketBase repository to Google Cloud Run using the provided guide."
  • "Create a Cloud Run service with PocketBase, mounting my Google Cloud Storage bucket named 'my-bucket' as '/cloud/storage'."
  • “Set up a health check endpoint on the deployed Pocketbase instance at /api/health.”

Tips & gotchas

  • Prerequisites: Requires an existing Google Cloud project and a Google Cloud Storage bucket.
  • Local Files: Local development files in pb_data, pb_public, or pb_hooks need to be uploaded to your Google Cloud Storage bucket before deployment.
  • Custom Domains: Using a custom domain requires following the instructions in the official PocketBase documentation, which is not covered by this skill.
