Install target

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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: github.com.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    github.comsource host

  • 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 majiayu000/claude-arsenal at dfb23bc275.

    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

github-trending

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to discover and install trending GitHub repositories directly from the platform. It streamlines the process of finding popular open-source projects, tools, or libraries that are currently gaining traction within the developer community.

When to use it

  • You need to quickly identify popular open-source tools relevant to a specific technology stack.
  • You want to stay updated on the latest trending repositories in programming languages like Python, JavaScript, or Rust.
  • An AI agent requires immediate access to high-quality, vetted codebases for integration tasks.
  • You are looking for community-vetted solutions rather than digging through raw search results.

Key capabilities

  • Retrieves a list of currently trending GitHub repositories based on activity and stars.
  • Facilitates the direct installation of these repositories as skills or dependencies for AI agents.
  • Provides real-time visibility into what the developer community is actively using and building.

Example prompts

  • "Find the top 5 trending Python repositories this week and summarize their main features."
  • "Install a trending GitHub repository that helps automate social media posting for my marketing workflow."
  • "What are the most popular open-source tools currently available for data visualization?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Trending status is dynamic; results may change frequently based on recent activity spikes.
  • Ensure the installed repositories have active maintenance before relying on them for production workflows, as popularity does not always guarantee stability.
