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 aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts at 3f5182cfd7.

    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

The uptime-monitoring skill enables AI agents to continuously check service availability and generate detailed status reports based on real-time data. It supports custom alert configurations and integrates with various notification channels to ensure immediate awareness of outages.

When to use it

  • Automate routine health checks for production web servers and APIs without manual intervention.
  • Trigger automated incident response workflows when a service fails to respond within defined thresholds.
  • Generate daily or weekly uptime summaries for stakeholder reporting and compliance audits.
  • Monitor third-party dependencies like CDNs or payment gateways to prevent cascading failures.

Key capabilities

  • Real-time HTTP status code verification across multiple endpoints.
  • Configurable response time thresholds to detect latency issues before total failure.
  • Multi-channel alerting support via email, Slack, and webhooks.
  • Historical data logging for trend analysis and root cause investigation.

Example prompts

  • "Set up an uptime monitor for our API at api.example.com and send alerts to the #devops channel if response time exceeds 2 seconds."
  • "Generate a weekly uptime report summarizing availability percentages and downtime incidents for last month's production environment."
  • "Check the current status of our primary database replica and notify the on-call engineer if it becomes unreachable."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you provide valid endpoint URLs and configure appropriate response time thresholds to avoid false positives during high-traffic periods. This skill relies on network accessibility; ensure your AI agent has the necessary permissions to reach external hosts or internal services.
