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 jasonkneen/kiro at 22577b636d.

    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

The ai-prompting skill allows you to craft effective prompts for AI agents. It helps structure requests, refine instructions, and guide the agent towards desired outputs by providing clear and concise directives. This results in more predictable and useful responses from the underlying AI model.

When to use it

  • Generating creative content: Need a poem, story, or script? Use this skill to define style, tone, and subject matter for compelling narratives.
  • Summarizing complex documents: Quickly extract key information from lengthy reports or articles by providing specific summarization instructions.
  • Translating languages with nuance: Go beyond basic translation; specify context and desired formality for accurate and culturally appropriate translations.
  • Debugging code: Ask the AI to review your code, identify errors, and suggest improvements through well-defined prompts.

Key capabilities

  • Prompt structuring
  • Instruction refinement
  • Output guidance
  • Context specification

Example prompts

  • "Write a short story about a cat detective in the style of Raymond Chandler."
  • "Summarize this article [paste article text here], focusing on the economic impact."
  • "Translate 'Hello, how are you?' into Spanish, using formal language."

Tips & gotchas

The quality of the AI agent's response is directly tied to the clarity and detail in your prompts. Experiment with different phrasing and levels of specificity to achieve optimal results.
