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 provides foundational knowledge about computer networks. It explains core concepts like IP addresses, DNS, and common network protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP). The agent can use this information to troubleshoot basic connectivity issues or explain how data travels across the internet.

When to use it

  • Troubleshooting: When an AI agent needs to understand why a connection isn't working.
  • Explaining Internet Functionality: To clarify how websites are accessed and data is transmitted online for users with limited technical understanding.
  • Network Security Basics: To provide introductory explanations of network security concepts.
  • Understanding Online Services: When explaining the underlying technology behind specific online services or applications.

Key capabilities

  • Explains IP addressing and subnetting.
  • Describes the Domain Name System (DNS).
  • Defines common networking protocols like TCP/IP and HTTP.
  • Provides a basic understanding of network topologies.

Example prompts

  • "Explain how DNS works."
  • "What is an IP address, and why do I need one?"
  • “Can you describe the difference between TCP and UDP?”

Tips & gotchas

The skill provides introductory information; it's not a substitute for in-depth networking expertise. It’s best suited for providing high-level explanations rather than complex network configuration or troubleshooting.
