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

This skill allows AI agents to configure and utilize ShellCheck, a static analysis tool for shell scripts. It helps identify common errors and stylistic issues in shell code, improving script quality and reliability. The agent can apply configuration settings to customize ShellCheck's behavior and enforce specific coding standards.

When to use it

  • Automated Script Review: Integrate ShellCheck into your CI/CD pipeline to automatically check shell scripts for potential problems before deployment.
  • Code Quality Enforcement: Ensure all shell scripts within a project adhere to consistent style guidelines and best practices.
  • Educational Tooling: Use the skill to analyze student-written shell scripts, providing feedback on common errors and suggesting improvements.
  • Legacy Code Analysis: Evaluate existing shell scripts for potential vulnerabilities or inefficiencies by leveraging ShellCheck's analysis capabilities.

Key capabilities

  • Configuration of ShellCheck via .shellcheckrc files.
  • Application of custom rulesets to shell scripts.
  • Integration with CI/CD pipelines.
  • Analysis and reporting of shell script errors.

Example prompts

  • "Configure ShellCheck to ignore error code E401."
  • "Run ShellCheck on this script: [script content]"
  • “Create a .shellcheckrc file with the following settings: [settings]”

Tips & gotchas

  • ShellCheck configuration can be complex; familiarize yourself with its options for optimal results.
  • The agent requires access to shell scripting environments and ShellCheck itself.
