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-gene-database skill provides access to a database of genetic information. It allows users to query this data, retrieve specific genes based on identifiers or keywords, and potentially perform basic analysis or comparisons. This skill is designed for applications requiring biological data retrieval and integration.

When to use it

  • Researching the function of a specific gene given its ID (e.g., "What does gene HGNC:1000 do?").
  • Identifying genes associated with a particular disease or pathway.
  • Comparing genetic sequences between different organisms.
  • Building applications that require access to curated genetic data.

Key capabilities

  • Gene retrieval by ID (e.g., HGNC symbol, Entrez Gene ID).
  • Keyword-based gene search.
  • Access to a database of genetic information.

Example prompts

  • "Find the gene with HGNC ID 1000."
  • "What genes are associated with Alzheimer's disease?"
  • "Search for genes related to 'muscle development'."

Tips & gotchas

The skill’s effectiveness depends on the completeness and accuracy of the underlying genetic database. Results may vary depending on how specific your search terms are.
