Checked
aaddrick·vlatest·other·Apache-2.0

Helps with setup and configuration, building as part of agent workflows workflows.

Repository

Install on your platform

Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add aaddrick/claude-desktop-debian --skill setup-build-tools -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

Install target

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 aaddrick/claude-desktop-debian at 0c02014612.

    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 automates the discovery and installation of essential build tools required to compile and develop software on your system. It streamlines the initial environment setup process for AI agents working within development workflows.

When to use it

  • Initializing a fresh Linux or Debian-based development environment before starting a new project.
  • Installing compilers (like GCC or Clang) and package managers needed for native code compilation.
  • Preparing the system for containerized builds that require specific host-level dependencies.
  • Resolving missing build dependencies when an AI agent encounters compilation errors.

Key capabilities

  • Identifies necessary build tools based on the target project requirements.
  • Executes automated installation commands via system package managers.
  • Configures the environment to ensure compilers and libraries are accessible.
  • Operates within the claude-desktop-debian context for Debian-specific tooling.

Example prompts

  • "Set up my development environment with all necessary build tools for a C++ project."
  • "Install the required compilers and libraries to compile this Rust application."
  • "Configure my system so I can build native extensions without manual intervention."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has appropriate permissions to install system packages, as this skill modifies the host environment. Verify that the target OS matches Debian or a compatible distribution before execution to avoid package manager errors.
