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 mindrally/skills at 7682ca7771.

    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 scrapy-web-scraping skill enables AI agents to extract structured data from websites using Scrapy, a powerful web scraping framework. It supports parsing HTML content, navigating through pages, and extracting specific elements based on selectors like XPath or CSS.

When to use it

  • Extract product listings or pricing information from e-commerce sites.
  • Gather news articles or blog posts for content aggregation.
  • Monitor changes in website content over time for data analysis or SEO purposes.

Key capabilities

  • Parsing HTML and XML documents
  • Using XPath and CSS selectors for targeted data extraction
  • Handling pagination and following links across multiple pages
  • Exporting scraped data into formats like JSON, CSV, or databases

Example prompts

  • "Scrape all product titles and prices from https://example-store.com."
  • "Extract the latest headlines from the technology section of news.example.org."
  • "Follow all 'Next Page' links on a blog and save each article's content as JSON."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure compliance with website terms of service and robots.txt rules to avoid legal issues.
  • Use proxies or rate-limiting mechanisms to prevent IP bans during large-scale scraping tasks.
