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 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: apache.org, xml.org.

    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.

  • 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 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 project-codeguard/rules at 036b66c155.

    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

The project-codeguard-software-security skill helps identify and mitigate potential security vulnerabilities in code. It analyzes source code to detect common coding errors that could lead to exploits, such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS). The tool aims to improve the overall security posture of software projects by proactively finding and addressing weaknesses.

When to use it

  • During Code Reviews: Integrate into a code review process to identify potential vulnerabilities before they reach production.
  • Automated Security Checks: Run automated scans as part of CI/CD pipelines for continuous security assessment.
  • Security Audits: Supplement manual security audits with automated analysis to increase coverage and efficiency.
  • New Project Setup: Implement early in the development lifecycle to build secure software from the ground up.

Key capabilities

  • Vulnerability detection
  • Automated scanning
  • Code review integration
  • Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline compatibility

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this Python code for potential security vulnerabilities."
  • "Run a security scan on the authentication.js file."
  • "Identify any SQL injection risks in this Java application's codebase."

Tips & gotchas

The skill’s effectiveness depends on providing it with access to the relevant source code files or repositories. While helpful, the tool’s findings should be reviewed by a security expert for accurate assessment and remediation planning.
