Main limitation

Requires Bash; Windows users need a suitable shell such as WSL or Git Bash.

First risk

Credentials and irreversible stages. Inspect paths and commands first. Enter secrets locally, confirm irreversible actions and review any gh secret writes.

IN PLAIN ENGLISH

What it does—and when it fits

Wizard generates an interactive Bash procedure for steps only a human can perform, such as navigating a service dashboard or entering credentials. It scopes stages, uses a shared template and hands the script to the user rather than running the full interactive procedure itself.

This is aimed at Maintainers handing repeatable manual setup to a human. Compare the examples below with your task, then review the limitations, permissions, and risks before installing.

What you get
  • Describe manual stagesMap each value to its origin, destination and secrecy.
  • Generate guided setupUse hidden secret entry and explicit confirmation stages.
  • Verify then hand offStatically check the script and explain how the human runs it.
What makes it different
  • Keeps human-only steps explicit instead of guessing credentials.
  • Uses a consistent stage template and syntax checks.

INSTALL BY AGENT

Choose your Agent

Paths come from official Agent docs or the universal installer behind skills.sh. Compatibility still follows this Skill's record.

Portable

This path can receive standard SKILL.md packages, but SkillSignal has not runtime-tested this Skill / Agent pair. Agent-specific tools, hooks, or frontmatter may need changes.

Project install (recommended)
npx skills add https://github.com/mattpocock/skills --skill wizard --agent claude-code
Personal install
npx skills add https://github.com/mattpocock/skills --skill wizard --agent claude-code -g

Project install stays with this repository for team sharing. Personal install adds -g and works across repositories.

TYPICAL WORKFLOW

A practical workflow

01

Describe manual stages

Map each value to its origin, destination and secrecy.

02

Generate guided setup

Use hidden secret entry and explicit confirmation stages.

03

Verify then hand off

Statically check the script and explain how the human runs it.

THE TRADEOFFS

Advantages and tradeoffs

Notable strengths

  1. Keeps human-only steps explicit instead of guessing credentials.
  2. Uses a consistent stage template and syntax checks.

Limitations

  1. Requires Bash; Windows users need a suitable shell such as WSL or Git Bash.
  2. The script can write environment files or GitHub secrets; static checks do not prove those destinations are correct.

BEFORE YOU USE IT

Risks to review before use

High

Credentials and irreversible stages

Inspect paths and commands first. Enter secrets locally, confirm irreversible actions and review any gh secret writes.

Medium

Upstream instruction drift

Behavior can change with upstream updates. Record the commit used for important workflows and review updates before adoption.

SECURITY

What the permission profile means

  • Declared access remains governed by the current upstream SKILL.md and runtime requests.
  • Treat repository files, web content, and tool output as untrusted input.
  • SkillSignal has not independently executed or security-audited this package; external skills.sh labels are not SkillSignal certification.

Not a security certification. External ratings are attributed references. SkillSignal has not independently executed or security-reviewed this Skill.

COMMON QUESTIONS

wizard Skill FAQ

What is the wizard Skill?

Wizard generates an interactive Bash procedure for steps only a human can perform, such as navigating a service dashboard or entering credentials. It scopes stages, uses a shared template and hands the script to the user rather than running the full interactive procedure itself.

How do I install the wizard Skill?

Open and review the listed source, choose the project or personal path for your Agent, then verify the first run in a controlled project. Review SKILL.md and its template.sh at the pinned revision.

Is the wizard Skill safe to use?

SkillSignal checked the source on 2026-10-19, but that is not a runtime test or security certification. Review the “Credentials and irreversible stages” risk first and begin with the least access required.
