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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: failed

    Runs code fetched at install time in 3 places.

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

  • 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.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned acaprino/alfio-claude-plugins at 10363691a2.

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

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to create Python packages, including setting up project structure, writing setup.py files, and generating distributions. It automates common packaging tasks, enabling efficient creation of reusable software components. The agent can handle basic package metadata and build processes for distribution on platforms like PyPI.

When to use it

  • You need to create a Python library or module that others can easily install and use.
  • You want to automate the process of building distributable packages from your Python code.
  • You're developing a tool with dependencies and require a structured package for deployment.
  • You’re creating a plugin architecture where components are distributed as separate, installable units.

Key capabilities

  • Generates setup.py files.
  • Creates basic project structure for Python packages.
  • Handles package metadata (name, version, author).
  • Builds distributable packages.

Example prompts

  • "Create a Python package named 'my_library' with version 1.0."
  • “Generate the initial files to create a python package.”
  • "Package my existing Python code into a distributable format."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure you have basic familiarity with Python project structures and packaging concepts for best results.
  • The skill handles only fundamental packaging tasks; more complex build processes might require manual adjustments or additional tools.
