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 jeffallan/claude-skills at 1be15d8064.

    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 simulate the role of a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE). It can assist with tasks like incident response, postmortem analysis, and automating operational processes. The agent will leverage SRE principles to identify and resolve system issues, aiming for increased reliability and efficiency.

When to use it

  • Incident Response: During an outage or service degradation, the agent can help triage the issue and suggest remediation steps.
  • Postmortem Analysis: After an incident, the agent can assist in analyzing root causes and proposing preventative measures.
  • Automation of Operational Tasks: The agent can generate scripts or configurations to automate repetitive tasks like log analysis or system monitoring.
  • Capacity Planning: The agent can analyze performance data and predict future resource needs.

Key capabilities

  • Incident Response
  • Postmortem Analysis
  • Operational Automation
  • Performance Data Analysis
  • Capacity Planning

Example prompts

  • "We're experiencing high latency on our API endpoint. Can you help me troubleshoot?"
  • "Can you generate a postmortem report for the recent database outage, focusing on root cause and preventative actions?"
  • "Write a script to automatically rotate logs in our production environment."

Tips & gotchas

The agent's effectiveness depends on providing it with sufficient context about the system being managed. It is not a replacement for human expertise but can be a valuable assistant for SRE tasks.
