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 2 Oct 2026

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 performs security audits on Rails applications. It identifies potential vulnerabilities based on common attack patterns and best practices, providing detailed reports with actionable remediation steps. The audit covers areas like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure deserialization.

When to use it

Before deploying a new version of your Rails application to production.
After making significant changes to the codebase that could introduce security risks.
As part of a regular security review process for existing applications.
When onboarding a new developer and wanting to ensure adherence to secure coding practices.
To assess the security posture of an acquired Rails application.

Key capabilities

Vulnerability scanning
SQL injection detection
Cross-site scripting (XSS) identification
Insecure deserialization analysis
Detailed reporting with remediation suggestions

Example prompts

"Run a security audit on my Rails application and report any potential vulnerabilities."
"Perform an XSS scan of the user authentication module in my Rails app."
“Analyze this code snippet for SQL injection risks: [paste code here]”

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires access to the Rails application's codebase. Ensure appropriate permissions are granted before running audits. The results should be reviewed by a security expert, as automated tools may produce false positives or miss subtle vulnerabilities.
