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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: api.github.com, codeload.github.com, github.com.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    api.github.comsource hostcodeload.github.comsource hostgithub.comsource host

  • 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 openai/skills at 49f948faa9.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The skill-installer skill enables AI agents to discover, install, and manage additional skills from a registry. It provides the ability to search for available skills, verify compatibility, and apply them to enhance an agent's functionality.

When to use it

  • You need to add new functionalities to your AI agent by installing third-party skills.
  • You want to automate the process of updating or expanding your agent’s capabilities.
  • Your workflow requires integrating multiple specialized tools into a single AI agent.

Key capabilities

  • Search for available skills in a registry.
  • Install and activate compatible skills on an AI agent.
  • Verify dependencies and compatibility before installation.

Example prompts

  • "Find and install the 'code-generator' skill."
  • "Check which skills are compatible with my current AI agent setup."
  • "Install the 'data-analyzer' skill from the registry."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your AI agent has access to the skill registry before attempting installation.
  • Some skills may require additional configuration or dependencies after installation.
