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 sergio-bershadsky/ai at 5eb371ac42.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill helps ensure your Second Brain (likely referring to a note-taking system like Obsidian or Roam Research) remains current and useful. It identifies notes that haven't been reviewed in a while, flags them for potential updating, and can even suggest actions to keep the knowledge base fresh. The goal is to prevent information decay and maintain a valuable resource over time.

When to use it

  • Periodic Review: Schedule regular checks (e.g., weekly or monthly) to identify stale notes needing attention.
  • Project Kickoff: Before starting a new project, use the skill to refresh relevant background knowledge.
  • Knowledge Base Maintenance: Proactively manage your Second Brain’s health and prevent information from becoming outdated.
  • Content Repurposing: Identify older notes that could be updated or repurposed into new content formats.

Key capabilities

  • Identifies notes based on last review date.
  • Flags potentially stale notes for updating.
  • Suggests actions to keep knowledge fresh.

Example prompts

  • "Show me all notes not reviewed in the last 30 days."
  • "What's the oldest note in my Second Brain?"
  • "Suggest ways I can update notes that haven’t been touched in six months.”

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires access to your Second Brain data, typically through an API or plugin. Ensure you have configured appropriate permissions and authentication for the AI agent to interact with your note-taking system.
