Install target

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 8b-is/8b-is-mp at 4007b9d267.

    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, 8b-is-dhh-rails-style, allows AI agents to generate code and text adhering to the coding style popularized by DHH (David Heinemeier Hansson), a prominent figure in the Ruby on Rails community. It emphasizes clean, concise, and idiomatic code with an emphasis on developer happiness. The skill aims for consistency and readability in generated output, mirroring best practices from Rails development.

When to use it

  • Generating backend code snippets or complete modules where adherence to a specific coding style is required.
  • Creating documentation or tutorials that need to exemplify clean and idiomatic code.
  • When you want the AI agent's output to be easily understood and maintainable by developers familiar with Rails conventions.
  • To ensure consistency in code generated across multiple tasks or projects.

Key capabilities

  • Rails-style code generation
  • Emphasis on readability and conciseness
  • Idiomatic coding practices
  • Developer happiness focused style

Example prompts

  • "Write a Rails controller action for creating a new user."
  • "Generate a migration to add an email column to the users table, using Rails conventions."
  • "Create a simple Ruby class with methods that follow DHH's coding style."

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill is most effective when used within a context where Ruby on Rails principles are relevant. It may not be suitable for all programming languages or paradigms.
