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 lifangda/claude-plugins at 76d90e8304.

    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 provides access to Astropy, a Python package for astronomy. It allows AI agents to perform tasks such as reading and writing FITS files (a common astronomical data format), performing coordinate transformations between different celestial reference frames, and accessing cosmological constants. The agent can leverage this to analyze astronomical datasets or generate simulations.

When to use it

  • Analyzing telescope observation data: Extracting information from FITS files produced by telescopes.
  • Calculating distances to stars and galaxies: Using Astropy's cosmological functions.
  • Converting between equatorial and galactic coordinates: Performing coordinate transformations for celestial objects.
  • Simulating astronomical events: Generating synthetic datasets based on physical models.

Key capabilities

  • FITS file I/O (reading and writing)
  • Coordinate transformations
  • Cosmological calculations
  • Access to astronomical constants

Example prompts

  • "Can you read the FITS file 'image.fits' and tell me the exposure time?"
  • "Convert the coordinates of this star from J2000 equatorial to Galactic."
  • "What is the Hubble constant according to the latest Astropy data?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires a Python environment with Astropy installed. Ensure that the agent has access to this environment.
