Install target

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: 127.0.0.1.

    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

    127.0.0.1local
  • 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 aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts at 3f5182cfd7.

    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 enables AI agents to configure and manage Nginx web server settings, including virtual hosts, reverse proxies, load balancing, access control, and performance tuning. It provides precise guidance for editing nginx.conf files and related configurations.

When to use it

  • Setting up a new Nginx server or updating an existing configuration
  • Implementing SSL/TLS encryption for secure web traffic
  • Configuring reverse proxy settings to route requests to backend services
  • Fine-tuning performance parameters like caching, timeouts, and connection limits

Key capabilities

  • Editing nginx.conf and site-specific configuration files
  • Setting up virtual hosts and server blocks
  • Configuring SSL/TLS with Let's Encrypt or custom certificates
  • Implementing reverse proxy and load balancing rules
  • Managing access control via IP restrictions and authentication

Example prompts

  • "Configure Nginx to serve a static website on port 80"
  • "Set up a reverse proxy for my backend API at api.example.com"
  • "Enable SSL with Let's Encrypt on the domain www.mydomain.com"

Tips & gotchas

  • Always test configurations using nginx -t before reloading the service.
  • Ensure proper file permissions and ownership for Nginx configuration files to avoid runtime errors.
