Install target

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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: github.com.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    github.comsource host

  • 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 maquina-app/rails-upgrade-skill at 19e52a677c.

    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 rails-upgrade-assistant skill helps automate and guide the process of upgrading Ruby on Rails applications. It analyzes your current Rails version, identifies potential upgrade paths, and generates necessary migration files or commands to ease the transition. This minimizes manual effort and reduces the risk of errors during complex upgrades.

When to use it

  • You need to upgrade a Rails application from one major version to another (e.g., 6 to 7).
  • You're unsure about the compatibility of your gems with the target Rails version.
  • You want to automate parts of the upgrade process, such as generating migration files for database schema changes.
  • You’re facing deprecation warnings and need assistance in addressing them during an upgrade.

Key capabilities

  • Analyzes current Rails application version.
  • Identifies potential upgrade paths.
  • Generates necessary migration files.
  • Provides commands to execute during the upgrade process.

Example prompts

  • "What's the best way to upgrade my Rails 6 app to Rails 7?"
  • "Generate a migration file for updating the users table in preparation for a Rails upgrade."
  • “List all gems that need updates before upgrading to Rails 8.”

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on having a well-structured and relatively clean Rails codebase. It’s recommended to run your test suite thoroughly before initiating an upgrade, even with the assistant's help.
