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 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: discord.com, docs.docker.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 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

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides access to PocketBase, an open source backend in one single file. It allows you to manage data through a simple admin interface and offers features like authentication, storage, and real-time subscriptions. This is useful for building lightweight applications without needing complex server infrastructure.

When to use it

  • Rapid Prototyping: Quickly build and test application backends without setting up a full server environment.
  • Small Projects: Ideal for smaller projects or personal apps where a dedicated backend isn't necessary.
  • Simple Data Management: Manage user data, content, or other information through an intuitive admin panel.
  • Offline Capabilities: PocketBase can be deployed and used offline, making it suitable for mobile applications.

Key capabilities

  • Single-file backend
  • Admin interface
  • Authentication
  • Data storage
  • Real-time subscriptions

Example prompts

  • "Create a new user in PocketBase with the username 'testuser' and password 'password'."
  • "Retrieve all records from the 'posts' collection in PocketBase."
  • "Update the 'title' field of the record with ID '123' in the 'products' table."

Tips & gotchas

  • PocketBase is designed for smaller datasets and lower traffic volumes. It may not be suitable for large-scale applications.
  • Ensure you understand PocketBase’s deployment requirements, as it requires a file system accessible location.
