Matched to the vendor's own GitHub organisation.

Install target

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 1 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.

  • Declares what it does: failed

    No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.

    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 github/awesome-copilot at 6c4d33b9cf.

    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 sponsor-finder skill helps identify potential sponsors or funding sources for projects, initiatives, or open-source work. It leverages data from GitHub and other platforms to suggest relevant organizations or individuals who may be interested in supporting a given project.

When to use it

  • You're seeking financial support for an open-source project.
  • You want to find companies that sponsor similar initiatives for potential collaboration.
  • You need to identify backers for a new idea or startup.
  • You are preparing a pitch and need relevant sponsors to highlight in your proposal.

Key capabilities

  • Searches GitHub for projects with sponsorship information.
  • Identifies organizations that have sponsored open-source work.
  • Provides insights into potential funding sources based on project themes or technologies.

Example prompts

  • "Find companies that sponsor open-source projects related to AI."
  • "Identify possible sponsors for a new Rust-based tooling library."
  • "Show me organizations that fund GitHub repositories with similar topics to this one."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your project has clear documentation and a well-defined use case to attract relevant sponsors.
  • The skill may not always return active or current sponsorship opportunities, so follow up directly for confirmation.
