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 kernel/skills at 1dfb54bb63.

    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, Kernel Auth, enables an AI agent to set up and manage authenticated connections for websites. It allows you to create profiles tied to specific domains (like gmail.com or amazon.com) and automatically log into those sites using a managed authentication flow. The process involves generating a login URL that the user must visit in their browser to complete the authentication, after which the session is stored within the profile.

When to use it

  • Automating logins to frequently used websites like Gmail, GitHub, or Outlook.
  • Creating authenticated browsing sessions for specific services (e.g., accessing a work account on LinkedIn).
  • Managing multiple login profiles for different purposes (personal vs. work accounts).
  • Setting up authentication for custom domains not included in the built-in service list.

Key capabilities

  • Connection Setup: Creates and manages authenticated connections to websites using kernel-auth setup.
  • Built-in Services: Supports pre-configured authentication for Gmail, GitHub, and Outlook.
  • Custom Domain Support: Allows authentication with any website by specifying the domain via --domain flag.
  • Profile Management: Organizes connections into profiles (e.g., "gmail-main", "github-work").
  • Authentication Flow Control: Requires manual URL visit for login to prevent accidental consumption of links and provide user control.
  • Connection Status Monitoring: Provides commands (kernel auth connections list, kernel auth connections get) to check connection status (AUTHENTICATED or NEEDS_AUTH).
  • Browser Integration: Enables creation of browser sessions automatically logged into the authenticated website using kernel browser create.

Example prompts

  • kernel-auth setup gmail - Sets up an authentication profile for Gmail.
  • kernel-auth setup --domain amazon.com --profile-name amazon-main - Creates a connection to Amazon with a custom profile name.
  • kernel auth connections list - Lists all configured authentication connections and their status.

Tips & gotchas

  • Profile Deletion is Destructive: Deleting a Kernel profile removes all associated connections, so use caution when deleting profiles. It's generally better to re-authenticate than delete the entire profile.
  • Manual Login Required: The authentication process requires you to visit a generated URL in your browser to complete the login. This is intentional for security and control.
