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

    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 ivanvza/dspy-skills at 2670fe9574.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The network-check skill assesses network connectivity and provides status reports. It can determine if a system has internet access, identify potential connection issues, and report on basic network parameters. This allows AI agents to proactively manage their online presence and adapt behavior based on network conditions.

When to use it

  • Troubleshooting Connectivity: An agent experiencing errors could use this skill to diagnose whether the problem is due to a lack of internet access.
  • Adaptive Behavior: An agent might switch between online and offline modes, or adjust data usage strategies, based on network-check results.
  • Pre-Task Validation: Before initiating tasks requiring an internet connection (e.g., web searches), the skill can verify connectivity to prevent failures.
  • Automated Monitoring: Regularly check network status as part of a larger system health monitoring routine.

Key capabilities

  • Connectivity testing
  • Network status reporting
  • Basic network parameter identification

Example prompts

  • "Check if I have internet access."
  • "Report on my current network connection."
  • "Verify connectivity before proceeding with the web search task."

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on the underlying system having appropriate networking tools and permissions. Results may vary depending on firewall configurations or proxy settings.
