Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a security skill usually runs scanners and checks websites.

Ghost Security - Secrets and credentials scanner. Scans codebase for leaked API keys, tokens, passwords, and sensitive data. Detects hardcoded secrets and generates findings with severity and remediation guidance. Use when the user asks to check for leaked secrets, scan for credentials, find hardcoded API keys or passwords, detect exposed .env values, or audit code for sensitive data exposure.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'ghost-scan-secrets' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'ghost-scan-secrets' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named ghost-scan-secrets already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/ghostsecurity/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '25fdf068760723b85b40e0224a3b8533e4aab31f' -- 'plugins/ghost/skills/scan-secrets' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/ghost/skills/scan-secrets' ~/.agents/skills/'ghost-scan-secrets' && 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/'ghost-scan-secrets' ~/.claude/skills/'ghost-scan-secrets' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
