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 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 mindrally/skills at 7682ca7771.

    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

The python-cybersecurity-tool-development skill enables AI agents to write, debug, and execute Python scripts tailored for security operations. It supports generating code for vulnerability scanning, log analysis, and automated threat response workflows using standard libraries and frameworks.

When to use it

  • Automating routine security tasks like parsing firewall logs or checking system configurations.
  • Creating custom scripts to scan networks for open ports or misconfigured services.
  • Developing tools to parse and analyze intrusion detection system (IDS) alerts.
  • Building proof-of-concept utilities for penetration testing environments.

Key capabilities

  • Generating Python code for security automation tasks.
  • Integrating with common cybersecurity libraries (e.g., Scapy, Nmap, Requests).
  • Writing scripts that interact with APIs and command-line tools.
  • Debugging and optimizing existing security-related Python code.

Example prompts

"Write a Python script to scan a target IP range for open ports using the scapy library." "Create a tool that parses Apache access logs and identifies potential SQL injection attempts." "Develop a Python utility to automate the rotation of SSH keys across multiple servers."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have the necessary Python packages installed before running generated scripts, as dependencies may vary. Always test automation scripts in isolated environments to avoid unintended system changes or false positives during scanning operations.
