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: api.openweathermap.org.

    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.openweathermap.orgundeclared

    What it found

    • skill-security-analyzer/references/security_patterns.md:61contacts api.openweathermap.org
      response = requests.get('https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather')

  • No obfuscated payloads: failed

    Contains 1 obfuscated or encoded payload pattern.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

    What it found

    • skill-security-analyzer/references/security_patterns.md:156exec of a base64-decoded payload
      exec(base64.b64decode('aW1wb3J0IG9zO29zLnN5c3RlbSgicm0gLXJmIC8i').decode())

  • 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 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 exploration-labs/nates-substack-skills at 61c6afd747.

    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 Security Analyzer skill assesses text for potential security vulnerabilities, such as the presence of personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive data, or indicators of malicious activity. It can identify patterns associated with credit card numbers, social security numbers, and other confidential details. The tool aims to help users proactively mitigate risks related to data exposure and privacy breaches.

When to use it

  • Reviewing user-generated content: Analyze forum posts, chat logs, or customer reviews for accidental PII disclosure.
  • Evaluating code snippets: Check code repositories or shared code samples for hardcoded credentials or sensitive information.
  • Analyzing email correspondence: Scan emails and attachments to identify potential data leaks or phishing attempts.
  • Preparing documents for public release: Ensure confidential details are removed before publishing reports, presentations, or other materials.

Key capabilities

  • PII detection (credit card numbers, social security numbers)
  • Sensitive data identification
  • Malicious indicator recognition
  • Text analysis and pattern matching

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this text for any potential PII: [paste text here]"
  • "Check this code snippet for hardcoded API keys or passwords: [paste code here]"
  • "Scan this email thread for sensitive information before sharing it externally."

Tips & gotchas

The skill's accuracy depends on the clarity and structure of the input text. Complex formatting or obfuscated data may reduce detection rates.
