Automated safety checks

scanned 28 Sept 2026

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

Declares what it does: failed
No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.
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 github/awesome-copilot at 6c4d33b9cf.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

Generates a story-like summary of the project's development journey.
Highlights major milestones and contributions within the repository.

Example prompts

"Generate a story about the history of this GitHub repository."
"Create a timeline summary based on the commits in this repo."
"Tell me the narrative of how this project evolved over time."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure that the AI agent has access to the full repository, including commit history and file structure.
