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 1 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.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api.fda.gov.

    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.

  • 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 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 jimmc414/kosmos at 6cfe7f690d.

    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 access to and manipulation capabilities within an FDA (Food and Drug Administration) database. It allows querying the database, retrieving specific records based on criteria, and potentially updating information if appropriate permissions are granted. The skill aims to streamline tasks involving FDA data retrieval and analysis.

When to use it

  • Researching approved drugs: Quickly find details about a particular drug's approval status, indications, and manufacturer.
  • Tracking medical device recalls: Identify devices subject to recall notices and associated information.
  • Analyzing adverse event reports: Retrieve and analyze data related to reported adverse events for specific products.
  • Checking facility registrations: Verify the registration status of facilities involved in manufacturing or distributing regulated products.

Key capabilities

  • Querying FDA databases
  • Retrieving records based on specified criteria
  • Data analysis (implied)
  • Potential data updating (permissions dependent)

Example prompts

  • "Find all drugs approved for treating hypertension."
  • "What medical devices have been recalled in the last year?"
  • "Show me adverse event reports related to product XYZ."
  • "Is facility ABC registered with the FDA?"

Tips & gotchas

The skill's functionality is dependent on having appropriate access and permissions within the FDA database. Data updates may require specific credentials or be restricted based on user roles.
