Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned 89jobrien/steve at c0ff044bf0.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill assists in identifying and resolving errors within code or processes. It can analyze error messages, suggest potential causes for issues, and propose solutions to fix them. The debugging process is streamlined by providing targeted insights based on the context of the problem at hand.

When to use it

  • You're encountering unexpected behavior in a software application and need help pinpointing the root cause.
  • A script or automated workflow is failing, and you require assistance interpreting error logs.
  • You are facing issues with complex configurations and want guidance on troubleshooting potential conflicts.
  • When faced with cryptic error messages that are difficult to understand without specialized knowledge.

Key capabilities

  • Error message analysis
  • Root cause suggestion
  • Solution proposal
  • Contextual insights

Example prompts

  • "I'm getting a 'TypeError: Cannot read property of undefined' error in my JavaScript code. Can you help me debug it?"
  • "My Python script is failing with an 'IndexError: list index out of range'. What could be causing this?"
  • “This configuration file is not working as expected, can you analyze the errors and suggest a fix?”

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on providing clear and complete information about the error or problem. Ensure you include relevant code snippets or log excerpts for accurate analysis.
