67 / 100 · Review before installing

Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a security skill usually runs scanners and checks websites.

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

Synchronize a security issue in <tracker> with the state of its GitHub discussion, the <security-list> mailing thread, and any <upstream> PRs that fix it. The skill gathers all relevant signals and proposes label / milestone / assignee / field / draft-email updates — applying only what the user has explicitly confirmed. Suggests the next step in the handling process and prints the CVE allocation link when a CVE is needed.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Safer alternatives

Low-risk skills in the same category (security) that look related. Check that one does what you need.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'issue-sync' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'issue-sync' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named issue-sync 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 "$d" checkout --quiet '8d24b52457f7a2731d7cc3329af96430a16715fd' -- 'plugins/magpie-security/skills/issue-sync' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/magpie-security/skills/issue-sync' ~/.agents/skills/'issue-sync' && 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-sync' ~/.claude/skills/'issue-sync' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
