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 wshobson/agents at 46891e7e60.

    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

The shellcheck-configuration skill enables AI agents to analyze and validate shell script configurations using ShellCheck, a static analysis tool for shell scripts. It identifies potential bugs, security issues, and style problems in shell code, helping users improve the reliability and safety of their scripts.

When to use it

  • You're writing or maintaining complex shell scripts and want to catch errors early.
  • You need to ensure your shell scripts follow best practices and are secure.
  • You're collaborating on a project where script quality is critical.
  • You want automated feedback on shell script syntax and logic during development.

Key capabilities

  • Static analysis of shell scripts for common mistakes.
  • Detection of security vulnerabilities in script logic.
  • Enforcement of coding standards and best practices.
  • Integration with CI/CD pipelines for automated checks.

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this bash script for potential errors using ShellCheck."
  • "Validate the syntax and security of my shell configuration file."
  • "Run a ShellCheck scan on this script to ensure it follows best practices."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your environment has ShellCheck installed before running checks.
  • Some advanced features may require specific versions of ShellCheck or additional plugins.
