Trending Skills

Fetches skills.sh trending rankings. Use when asking about skill rankings or popular tools.

Security Scan

The skill's code and runtime instructions match its stated purpose (fetching skills.sh trending rankings and optional details); it requests no secrets or unusual system access, though it requires installing Playwright/chromium to run the scraper.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (fetch skills.sh trending rankings) align with the included code and instructions. The Python files implement a Playwright-based scraper for the trending page and a requests/BeautifulSoup detail fetcher. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md gives concrete steps: run skills_fetcher.py (requires Playwright+chromium) for rankings and detail_fetcher.py (requires requests, bs4, lxml) for details. The runtime behavior is limited to HTTP GETs of skills.sh (or an alternate SKILLS_BASE_URL if the environment overrides it) and local HTML parsing. The only minor scope note: config supports SKILLS_BASE_URL env override — if set to an attacker-controlled host the scraper would fetch that host instead of the official site.

Install Mechanism

No explicit install spec in registry metadata (instruction-only), but SKILL.md instructs installing Playwright and running 'playwright install chromium --with-deps', which will download browser binaries and system dependencies via Playwright. This is expected for a headless-browser scraper but requires network access and elevated disk usage; the install commands come from public packages (pip/playwright).

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. The only relevant env var in code is SKILLS_BASE_URL (optional override) which is proportional to the scraper purpose. No secrets/tokens/keys are requested.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent system-wide privileges or modify other skills. It runs as an on-demand scraper and does not attempt to store or escalate privileges.

Assessment

This skill appears to do what it says: scrape skills.sh for trending rankings and optionally fetch detail pages. Before installing/run: 1) Be aware you'll be asked to install Playwright and Chromium which download browser binaries and may require system libraries—use a virtual environment or container if you prefer isolation. 2) The code will perform HTTP requests to SKILLS_BASE_URL; ensure that env SKILLS_BASE_URL is not pointed to an untrusted host (default is https://skills.sh). 3) Review or run the Python scripts locally first if you want to inspect network traffic or output; no credentials are requested. 4) Minor note: src/__init__.py contains unrelated docstring text (likely leftover) but this looks like harmless leftover metadata rather than malicious behavior.
