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 wdm0006/python-skills at 954796b7fc.

    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 package Python libraries into distributable formats. It handles the creation of setup.py files, builds source distributions (sdist), and creates wheels for easy installation using pip. The agent can also manage versioning and dependencies during the packaging process.

When to use it

  • You need to distribute a custom Python library or module you've developed.
  • You want to create installable packages from existing Python codebases.
  • You are automating the build process for a Python project with multiple dependencies.
  • You require creating wheel files (.whl) for faster and more reliable installations.

Key capabilities

  • Generates setup.py configuration files.
  • Builds source distributions (sdist).
  • Creates wheels (.whl).
  • Manages project versioning.
  • Handles dependencies specified in requirements files.

Example prompts

  • "Package this Python library into a wheel file."
  • "Create a setup.py for my project with the name 'my_library' and version 1.0.0."
  • “Build an sdist package from the current directory.”

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure you have Python and setuptools installed before using this skill.
  • The agent requires a valid setup.py file or sufficient information to generate one.
