Bootstrap pointer that installs the external repo-scan skill from a pinned
by affaan-mFree
Description
repo-scan is an agent skill from the ECC collection by affaan-m, listed on skills.sh. It is a bootstrap pointer that installs an external repo-scan skill from a pinned, reviewable commit, so the agent can run it. The listing's install steps clone the repository first, so the pinned commit can be read before anything is installed. The scan it installs looks across C++, Android, iOS and web code to show how much of a codebase is the team's own, what is third-party code embedded directly in the source rather than declared in a package manager, and what is dead weight. It applies when taking over a large legacy codebase and needing a structural overview, before a major refactor, when auditing third-party code vendored into a repository, and when preparing architecture records for a monorepo reorganisation. Because it installs code from another source, review the pinned commit before running it. A skill is a SKILL.md file of instructions that an AI agent loads when a task calls for it. It is free and open source, and the skills.sh listing shows a Gen Agent Trust Hub warning and a Snyk warning, with Socket passing.…
