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 gbsoss/skill-from-masters at c4d27d29bf.

    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

This skill allows AI agents to perform searches. It can be used to find information from various sources, retrieve specific data points, and answer questions based on external knowledge. The agent can leverage this skill to access up-to-date information beyond its internal training data.

When to use it

  • Answering user questions requiring current or factual information (e.g., "What's the weather in London?").
  • Gathering data for reports or presentations (e.g., "Find the top 5 best-selling books this year.").
  • Researching a topic and summarizing key findings (e.g., "Summarize recent developments in AI ethics.").
  • Locating specific files or documents based on keywords (e.g., “Find all PDFs related to project X”).

Key capabilities

  • Web search functionality
  • Data retrieval from external sources
  • Question answering using retrieved information
  • PDF searching

Example prompts

  • "Search the web for 'best hiking trails near Seattle'."
  • "What is the current price of Bitcoin?"
  • "Find all documents containing the phrase 'customer satisfaction survey'."

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of this skill depends on the quality and accessibility of online information. Be aware that search results may vary based on factors like location and search engine algorithms.
