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 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 gmh5225/awesome-llvm-security at dad2f21a55.

    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 performs static analysis, a technique for examining code without executing it. It helps identify potential vulnerabilities and bugs early in the development cycle. The tool can analyze source code to find security flaws like buffer overflows or format string vulnerabilities.

When to use it

  • Security Audits: When you need to assess the security posture of existing codebases.
  • Vulnerability Hunting: To proactively search for potential weaknesses in new or modified code.
  • Code Review Enhancement: As a supplementary tool during code review processes, highlighting areas needing closer inspection.
  • Compiler Security Research: For researchers investigating compiler behavior and identifying security issues within compilers themselves.

Key capabilities

  • Source Code Analysis
  • Vulnerability Detection
  • Security Flaw Identification
  • Buffer Overflow detection
  • Format String Vulnerability detection

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this code for potential buffer overflows: [code snippet]"
  • "Perform a static analysis of the auth.c file."
  • "Find any format string vulnerabilities in this project's source code."

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of static analysis depends on the quality and complexity of the codebase being analyzed. Results should be reviewed by experienced security professionals to avoid false positives and ensure accurate interpretation.
