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

    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 parcadei/continuous-claude-v3 at d07ff4b06b.

    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 Repo Research Analyst skill allows an AI agent to analyze a GitHub repository, extracting key information about its contents and activity. It can summarize the project's purpose based on README files, identify contributors, and provide insights into commit history. This enables agents to quickly understand unfamiliar codebases or track changes over time.

When to use it

  • Onboarding new team members: Quickly generate a summary of a repository for new developers joining a project.
  • Due diligence on open-source projects: Evaluate the health and activity level of an open-source library before integrating it into your own work.
  • Competitive analysis: Understand the features, contributors, and commit history of competitor's repositories.
  • Tracking repository changes: Monitor a repository for new commits or significant updates to its README file.

Key capabilities

  • README summarization
  • Contributor identification
  • Commit history overview

Example prompts

  • "Summarize the purpose of this GitHub repo: [repository URL]"
  • "Who are the main contributors to this repository? [repository URL]"
  • "Give me a brief overview of the commit history for this project. [repository URL]"

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires access to a valid GitHub repository URL. The quality of the summary depends on the clarity and completeness of the repository's README file.
