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 chaterm/terminal-skills at 464c295428.

    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 access to common command-line networking tools. It allows an AI agent to perform tasks like checking IP addresses, resolving domain names, and testing network connectivity. The agent can use these tools to gather information about networks and troubleshoot issues.

When to use it

  • Troubleshooting Network Connectivity: Diagnose why a website is unreachable or a connection is failing.
  • Gathering Network Information: Determine the IP address associated with a domain name or identify open ports on a server.
  • Performing DNS Lookups: Resolve domain names to their corresponding IP addresses for debugging purposes.
  • Testing Port Availability: Check if a specific port is open and listening on a remote host.

Key capabilities

  • IP address checking
  • Domain name resolution (DNS lookup)
  • Network connectivity testing

Example prompts

  • "What is the IP address of google.com?"
  • "Can you ping 8.8.8.8 and tell me if it's reachable?"
  • "Resolve the domain name example.org to an IP address."

Tips & gotchas

The agent needs access to a terminal environment to effectively utilize this skill. The results of network tools can be affected by firewalls or other network restrictions.
