pack
smol-machines/smolvmSkill
Turns an image, or a machine already provisioned, into a single self-contained artifact that runs on another compatible host. Use when shipping a prepared environment as one file, when a packed artifact runs but the state installed into it is missing, when pack create fails because the VM it boots to pull or export could not start, when an older release refuses to export a branched machine, or when deciding whether to pack from an image or from a machine. Do not use it to keep a machine you re-enter, which is the dev-env packet, or to run untrusted code, which is the throwaway-machine packet.
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 6,769 stars are split between them (about 677 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 73/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit c925bfd05cf6, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
