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 yariv1025/skills at 30e16586c6.

    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 provides guardrails for AI agents, helping to ensure responsible and safe operation. It allows developers to define boundaries and constraints on an agent's behavior, preventing unintended or harmful actions. The skill focuses on proactively shaping the agent’s responses and interactions within specified parameters.

When to use it

  • Sensitive Data Handling: When your agent interacts with personal information (e.g., healthcare records, financial data) to enforce privacy regulations.
  • Brand Safety: To prevent agents from generating content that could damage a company's reputation or violate legal guidelines.
  • Controlled Environments: In situations where the agent’s actions have significant real-world consequences (e.g., automated trading systems).
  • User Safety: When deploying agents in customer-facing roles to ensure responses are appropriate and avoid harmful advice.

Key capabilities

  • Defines boundaries for agent behavior.
  • Proactively shapes agent responses.
  • Enforces constraints on interactions.
  • Promotes responsible AI operation.

Example prompts

  • "Implement a guardrail that prevents the agent from discussing political topics."
  • "Add a constraint to ensure all financial advice provided is disclaimer-free."
  • "Configure the agent to refuse requests involving illegal activities."

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of this skill depends on clearly defining the desired boundaries and constraints. A lack of specificity in guardrail definitions can lead to unexpected behavior or overly restrictive limitations.
