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 prat011/awesome-llm-skills at 35e1ea23b6.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The video-downloader skill allows AI agents to download videos from various online sources. It can handle URLs directly and extract video files for later use or processing. The downloaded videos are saved locally, making them accessible without needing an active internet connection.

When to use it

  • Content Archiving: Download educational videos or tutorials for offline viewing and study.
  • Research & Analysis: Gather video content from online sources for analysis or inclusion in reports.
  • Personal Use: Save favorite videos from platforms like YouTube or Vimeo for personal enjoyment.
  • Creating Offline Playlists: Compile a collection of downloaded videos to create custom playlists accessible without internet.

Key capabilities

  • Video URL processing
  • Video file downloading
  • Local video storage

Example prompts

  • "Download the video from this link: [video URL]"
  • "Save this YouTube video for offline viewing: [YouTube video URL]"
  • “Can you download that video and save it as ‘my_video.mp4’?”

Tips & gotchas

The skill's success depends on the accessibility of the video URL; some sites may have restrictions or require authentication. Ensure the AI agent has appropriate permissions to write files to the designated storage location.
