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 affaan-m/everything-claude-code at d3b8a3e908.

    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 search-first skill enables AI agents to prioritize searching for information before generating responses. This approach ensures that answers are grounded in accurate, up-to-date data rather than relying solely on pre-existing knowledge.

When to use it

  • When answering factual or time-sensitive questions where accuracy is critical.
  • When dealing with niche topics that may not be well-covered by the AI’s training data.
  • To ensure compliance with policies requiring verified information before providing responses.
  • In scenarios where users expect the agent to find and reference external sources.

Key capabilities

  • Prioritizes search over generating answers from internal knowledge.
  • Integrates with web search tools to fetch real-time or updated information.
  • Ensures responses are fact-based and reliable by validating data through searches.

Example prompts

  • "What was the population of Tokyo in 2023?"
  • "Find recent news about climate change policies in Europe."
  • "Search for the latest research on quantum computing."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure that search tools are properly configured and accessible to avoid delays or errors.
  • Be aware that search results may vary based on region, language, or source reliability.
