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 badlogic/pi-skills at 90bb51cae3.

    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

The vscode skill allows AI agents to interact with and manage files within a Visual Studio Code (VSCode) environment. It enables tasks like creating, editing, saving, and deleting files, as well as executing commands within the VSCode terminal. This provides a powerful way for agents to automate software development workflows or perform complex file manipulations.

When to use it

  • Automated code generation: Generate new code snippets directly into a VSCode project.
  • File editing and refactoring: Have the agent automatically correct errors or improve existing code within a codebase.
  • Project setup: Automate the creation of new projects with pre-configured files and settings in VSCode.
  • Running tests: Execute unit tests or other automated testing scripts from within the VSCode terminal.

Key capabilities

  • File creation
  • File editing
  • File saving
  • File deletion
  • Terminal command execution

Example prompts

  • "Create a new Python file named 'main.py' in my project directory."
  • "Edit the 'app.js' file and replace all instances of 'console.log' with 'debug'."
  • "Run the tests located in the 'tests' folder using npm test within VSCode."

Tips & gotchas

The agent requires access to a configured VSCode environment, including necessary extensions for specific programming languages or tasks. Ensure that the project directory is accessible and correctly specified when providing prompts.
