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 inthecyber-group/intheskills at 170b925a5a.

    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

The osquery-query-helper skill allows AI agents to construct and execute OSQuery queries. It can retrieve system information, identify potential security issues, and perform targeted searches across a host's configuration and running processes. This skill simplifies interacting with the OSQuery framework for tasks like inventory management and threat hunting.

When to use it

  • Asset Inventory: Quickly gather details about installed software, hardware configurations, or user accounts on a system.
  • Security Auditing: Identify potentially vulnerable services, misconfigurations, or unusual process activity.
  • Troubleshooting: Investigate performance issues by querying resource utilization and system metrics.
  • Compliance Checks: Verify adherence to security policies by searching for specific configurations or software versions.

Key capabilities

  • Constructs OSQuery SQL queries.
  • Executes queries against a target host (implicitly).
  • Retrieves results from the query execution.
  • Provides structured data output based on query results.

Example prompts

  • "Find all processes running as root."
  • "What versions of Apache are installed?"
  • "Show me all users with sudo privileges."
  • "List all files modified in the last 24 hours."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires a working OSQuery installation and configuration on the target system.
  • The skill's effectiveness depends on the quality of the OSQuery schema and configurations available on the target host.
