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 shivamsinghchahar/rails-skills at 37ebbe9070.

    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 enables Rails applications to handle file storage using Active Storage. It allows you to store files (images, videos, documents) on cloud services like AWS S3 or Azure Blob Storage, rather than directly on the application server's filesystem. This provides scalability and improved performance for handling user-uploaded content.

When to use it

  • User Profile Pictures: Allow users to upload profile pictures that are stored securely in a cloud storage service.
  • Product Images: Enable e-commerce sites to store product images efficiently, scaling with the number of products offered.
  • Document Uploads: Facilitate secure and scalable document uploads for applications requiring file attachments (e.g., legal documents, invoices).
  • Video Hosting: Provide a backend solution for storing and serving videos uploaded by users or integrated into an application.

Key capabilities

  • Cloud storage integration (AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage)
  • File attachment management within Rails models
  • Direct URL access to stored files
  • Variant generation (e.g., creating thumbnails)
  • Secure file serving

Example prompts

  • "Upload this image and store it as 'profile_image' for user with ID 123."
  • "Generate a thumbnail of the attached document named 'report.pdf'."
  • "Retrieve the direct URL for the file associated with Active Storage attachment ID abcdefg."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires a configured cloud storage provider (e.g., AWS S3 bucket) to function correctly.
  • Ensure appropriate permissions are set on your cloud storage buckets for secure access.
