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

The secondbrain-init skill provides a foundation for building and organizing knowledge within an AI agent. It allows users to quickly set up a basic structure for capturing notes, ideas, and resources, mimicking the core principles of a "Second Brain" system. This includes creating areas, resources, and daily notes to facilitate personal knowledge management.

When to use it

  • New Project Setup: Quickly establish a structured environment for brainstorming and gathering information related to a new project or area of interest.
  • Personal Knowledge Management: Create a digital "Second Brain" to organize thoughts, articles, and other resources for later reference and synthesis.
  • Note-Taking Workflow: Streamline the process of capturing daily notes and organizing them within a defined knowledge structure.
  • Idea Capture & Development: Facilitate the capture and development of ideas by providing a framework for connecting related concepts.

Key capabilities

  • Creates areas (top-level categories)
  • Creates resources (notes, documents, links)
  • Generates daily notes

Example prompts

  • "Initialize my Second Brain with an area called 'Marketing'."
  • "Create a new resource in the 'Reading' area titled 'The Lean Startup'."
  • "Generate today’s note."

Tips & gotchas

This skill provides a basic structure; further customization and refinement of your knowledge management system will likely be needed. The initial setup creates a foundational framework, but ongoing maintenance and organization are key to maximizing its value.
