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 stakpak/community-paks at d9bbde9885.

    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 allows an AI agent to deploy applications onto virtual machines. It handles tasks such as transferring application files, configuring necessary services, and managing user accounts on the target VM. The deployment process is designed for simplicity and ease of use, suitable for both simple scripts and more complex applications.

When to use it

  • Deploying a basic web server (e.g., Nginx or Apache) onto a newly provisioned virtual machine.
  • Automating the setup of a development environment on a remote VM.
  • Distributing a small application or script to multiple VMs for testing purposes.
  • Quickly deploying updates or patches to applications already running on VMs.

Key capabilities

  • File transfer to target VM
  • Service configuration and management
  • User account creation/management

Example prompts

  • "Deploy my Python Flask application to the VM with IP address 192.168.1.10."
  • "Install Nginx on the VM named 'dev-server' and configure it to serve content from /var/www/html."
  • “Create a user ‘deploy’ with sudo privileges on the server at 10.0.0.5”

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure you have appropriate SSH credentials (username, password or key) configured for accessing the target VM.
  • The skill assumes basic familiarity with Linux command-line operations and common server configurations.
