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 microck/ordinary-claude-skills at 1056d293d4.

    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

The microck-cookbook-audit skill allows you to audit your Ansible cookbooks for potential issues and adherence to best practices. It can identify common errors, security vulnerabilities, and style inconsistencies within cookbook code. This helps ensure that your infrastructure automation is reliable, secure, and maintainable.

When to use it

  • Before deploying a new cookbook: Run an audit to catch problems early in the development lifecycle.
  • During routine maintenance of existing cookbooks: Regularly assess cookbooks for regressions or newly discovered vulnerabilities.
  • When onboarding new Ansible developers: Enforce coding standards and best practices across your team.
  • To prepare a cookbook for public sharing: Ensure high quality and consistency before publishing.

Key capabilities

  • Cookbook linting
  • Security vulnerability scanning
  • Style guide enforcement

Example prompts

  • "Audit this Ansible cookbook: /path/to/my/cookbook"
  • "Run a security audit on my Ansible role for web servers."
  • "Check the style of this cookbook and report any deviations from best practices."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires Ansible to be installed in your environment. Ensure that the specified cookbooks or roles are accessible to the AI agent for accurate auditing.
