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 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.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: opencollective.com.

    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 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.

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows an AI agent to develop and manage Homebrew formulas. It can create new formulas, modify existing ones, and test them within a Homebrew environment. The agent can automate the process of building and distributing software packages using Homebrew's robust package management system.

When to use it

  • Automated Software Deployment: Create a custom Homebrew formula for an internal application or service that needs automated installation and updates.
  • Package Contribution: Develop and test Homebrew formulas intended for public contribution to the Homebrew core repository.
  • Software Build Pipelines: Integrate formula creation and testing into continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.
  • Environment Setup: Automate the setup of development environments by creating formulas that install all necessary dependencies.

Key capabilities

  • Formula Creation: Generate new Homebrew formula files based on provided specifications.
  • Formula Modification: Edit existing formulas to update versions, patches, or installation procedures.
  • Testing: Run tests against newly created or modified formulas to ensure they function correctly.
  • Homebrew Environment Management: Interact with and manage a local Homebrew environment.

Example prompts

  • "Create a Homebrew formula for 'my-app' from GitHub repository [link]."
  • "Modify the existing Homebrew formula for 'foo' to use version 2.5."
  • "Test the Homebrew formula I just created for 'bar'."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires a working Homebrew installation on the system where the AI agent is running.
  • Understanding of Homebrew formula syntax and structure is beneficial for effective usage.
