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 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.

  • Declares what it does: failed

    No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.

    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 sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills at 5a4cdd9df8.

    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 execute Linux shell commands directly within their environment, allowing for system administration and file manipulation. It bridges the gap between high-level reasoning and low-level system execution on Unix-like operating systems.

When to use it

  • Automating repetitive file organization tasks across large directories.
  • Running diagnostic checks or system health monitoring scripts.
  • Executing complex command-line tools that require specific environment variables.
  • Managing user permissions or modifying system configurations via CLI.

Key capabilities

  • Direct execution of standard Linux utilities (e.g., grep, awk, sed).
  • Handling file system operations like reading, writing, and deleting files.
  • Running multi-line scripts with conditional logic and loops.
  • Capturing command output for further processing or analysis by the agent.

Example prompts

  • "Create a script that backs up all configuration files in /etc to a timestamped directory."
  • "Search through all .log files in the current folder for error messages containing 'timeout' and list the filenames."
  • "Run a system update command on this Linux machine and report any errors encountered."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the AI agent has appropriate read/write permissions before attempting to modify critical system files. Always review generated shell scripts before execution, as incorrect syntax or unsafe commands can lead to data loss or security vulnerabilities.
