skill-check
89 / 100 · Low risk
Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a security skill usually runs scanners and checks websites.
By thedaviddias/skill-check (GitHub) · security · 195 stars · scanned at commit 923aaee
Use when the user wants to validate, lint, or audit agent skill files (SKILL.md). Use when they say "validate these skills," "check this repo's skills," "lint SKILL.md files," or "audit skills in [repo URL]." Run skill-check locally or against a cloned GitHub repo and summarize findings.
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/'skill-check' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'skill-check' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named skill-check already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/thedaviddias/skill-check' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '923aaeed7c0f47bdc1233509e0f7c923d748bea8' -- 'skills/skill-check' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/skill-check' ~/.agents/skills/'skill-check' && 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/'skill-check' ~/.claude/skills/'skill-check' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
