67 / 100 · Review before installing

By apache/magpie (GitHub) · security · 146 stars · scanned at commit 8d24b52

Import new `<security-list>` reports into `<tracker>`: find threads not yet tracked, propose the imports (default: import unless rejected), create each tracker in `Needs triage`, and draft a receipt reply to the reporter. First step of the handling process.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'issue-import' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'issue-import' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named issue-import already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/apache/magpie' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '8d24b52457f7a2731d7cc3329af96430a16715fd' -- 'plugins/magpie-security/skills/issue-import' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/magpie-security/skills/issue-import' ~/.agents/skills/'issue-import' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'issue-import' ~/.claude/skills/'issue-import' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
