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 simhacker/moollm at 8f6d840b2f.

    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 allows AI agents to understand and interpret network protocols. It can parse packet captures, analyze communication sequences, and explain the purpose of specific protocol elements. The agent can also generate examples of valid protocol messages based on given parameters or requirements.

When to use it

  • Debugging network issues: Provide a PCAP file and ask the agent to identify potential problems in the communication flow.
  • Learning about protocols: Ask for explanations of how a specific protocol works, including its headers and common use cases.
  • Generating test data: Request sample packets or messages conforming to a particular protocol specification.
  • Analyzing security vulnerabilities: Provide packet captures and request identification of suspicious patterns or potential exploits related to the protocol.

Key capabilities

  • Packet capture parsing
  • Protocol explanation
  • Message generation
  • Communication sequence analysis

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this PCAP file and tell me what's happening."
  • "Explain how TCP handshakes work."
  • "Generate a valid HTTP POST request with these parameters: [parameters]."
  • “What is the purpose of the SYN flag in TCP?”

Tips & gotchas

The agent’s effectiveness depends on the quality and completeness of the provided packet captures or protocol specifications. It's best suited for well-defined, standard protocols; less effective with proprietary or heavily customized implementations.
