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 aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts at 3f5182cfd7.

    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 enables AI agents to evaluate potential risks associated with proposed actions, strategies, or decisions before execution. It systematically analyzes scenarios to identify vulnerabilities, negative outcomes, and areas requiring caution.

When to use it

  • Before deploying a new software feature to production environments.
  • When planning strategic business moves that involve significant financial exposure.
  • During the review of user-generated content for safety compliance.
  • Prior to initiating high-stakes negotiations or public announcements.

Key capabilities

  • Identifies potential negative outcomes in specific scenarios.
  • Highlights vulnerabilities within proposed plans or systems.
  • Provides structured risk analysis for decision-making processes.

Example prompts

  • "Analyze the risks of launching our new mobile app without a beta testing phase."
  • "What are the potential downsides of switching our entire server infrastructure to a single cloud provider?"
  • "Evaluate the safety risks associated with allowing users to upload custom scripts to our platform."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you provide sufficient context about the specific action or plan being evaluated so the agent can accurately assess relevant threats. This skill is analytical and should be used as part of a broader decision-making framework rather than a sole determinant for high-stakes actions.
