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.

  • No credential access: failed

    Touches credential material in 2 places.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

    What it found

    • skills/ssh-tunnel-debug/SKILL.md:97SSH private keys or config
      cat ~/.ssh-tunnels/pids/<id>.pid 2>/dev/null
    • skills/ssh-tunnel-debug/SKILL.md:148SSH private keys or config
      rm -f ~/.ssh-tunnels/pids/<id>.pid

  • 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: 127.0.0.1.

    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

    127.0.0.1local

  • 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 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 statechangelabs/ssh-tunnel-manager at 25bcef5483.

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

About this skill

What it does

The ssh-tunnel-debug skill allows AI agents to establish and debug SSH tunnels. It facilitates secure connections between systems, enabling access to resources that might otherwise be inaccessible due to firewall restrictions or network configurations. This skill can also assist in troubleshooting tunnel connectivity issues by providing detailed diagnostic information.

When to use it

  • Accessing a database behind a firewall: An agent needs to query a database server located on a private network.
  • Testing an application running on a remote host: An agent requires access to a web application deployed on a machine that's not directly exposed to the internet.
  • Troubleshooting connectivity problems: When experiencing issues connecting to a resource through an SSH tunnel, use this skill to diagnose and resolve the problem.
  • Securely forwarding ports for development: An agent needs to temporarily expose a local port to a remote server for testing or debugging purposes.

Key capabilities

  • Establish SSH tunnels
  • Debug existing SSH tunnels
  • Provide diagnostic information about tunnel status

Example prompts

  • "Create an SSH tunnel from my local machine to 192.168.1.100 on port 22, forwarding local port 8080 to remote port 80."
  • "Check the status of the existing SSH tunnel to example.com."
  • "Debug the SSH tunnel connection and provide details about any errors."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires appropriate SSH credentials (username/password or key) to be configured beforehand.
  • The skill's effectiveness depends on the underlying SSH server configuration and network accessibility.
