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 failed 2 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: astral.sh.

    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.

  • 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 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.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to discover and install additional capabilities, effectively expanding their functional toolkit. It acts as a dynamic loader that allows an agent to acquire new skills on demand rather than relying solely on a static initial configuration.

When to use it

  • You need an agent to perform tasks outside its default scope without retraining or redeploying the core model.
  • You are building modular agents where different workflows require distinct, interchangeable skill sets.
  • You want to enable an agent to self-augment by fetching necessary tools from a registry during runtime.
  • You are creating a platform where users can customize agent behavior by installing specific skills.

Key capabilities

  • Discovery of available skills within the ToolUniverse registry.
  • Installation and integration of new skills into the active agent environment.
  • Dynamic expansion of agent functionality based on user or system requirements.

Example prompts

  • "Install the data-analysis skill so I can process CSV files."
  • "Discover what translation capabilities are available and install the best one."
  • "Add a web-browsing skill to this agent to help me research current events."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the AI agent has network access to reach the ToolUniverse registry, as installation requires fetching external resources. Be mindful of potential conflicts if multiple skills attempt to define similar functions or access overlapping system permissions.
