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 lobbi-docs/claude at 1f04f9b061.

    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 enables an AI agent to interact with and utilize external tools. It allows agents to execute commands, retrieve data from specific sources, and integrate the results into their responses. The tool-use functionality extends the agent's capabilities beyond its internal knowledge base, enabling more complex tasks.

When to use it

  • Data Retrieval: When an agent needs up-to-date information not available in its training data (e.g., current weather conditions).
  • Task Automation: To automate repetitive actions or processes by leveraging external tools (e.g., sending emails, scheduling appointments).
  • Complex Calculations: When a task requires calculations or operations that the agent cannot perform natively.
  • External API Integration: When an agent needs to interact with third-party services and APIs.

Key capabilities

  • Tool execution
  • Data retrieval from external sources
  • Integration of tool results into responses
  • Command processing

Example prompts

  • "Find the current temperature in London."
  • "Send an email to [email protected] with the subject 'Meeting Reminder'."
  • “Calculate 15% tip on a $28 bill.”

Tips & gotchas

The agent's ability to effectively use tools depends on clear and specific instructions. Ensure that tool names and parameters are well-defined for optimal performance.
