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 aaronontheweb/dotnet-skills at e426ed93a9.

    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

The akka-hosting-actor-patterns skill enables AI agents to manage and orchestrate concurrent tasks using the Akka.NET framework within .NET applications. It provides the infrastructure to define, instantiate, and supervise actors that handle isolated units of work with high scalability.

When to use it

  • Implementing event-driven architectures where multiple independent processes need to react asynchronously to system events.
  • Building high-throughput microservices that require fault isolation so a single failing task does not crash the entire application.
  • Managing complex stateful workflows where different logical units of business must maintain their own context simultaneously.
  • Creating resilient systems that automatically restart failed actors or route messages to backup nodes during runtime errors.

Key capabilities

  • Actor lifecycle management (creation, supervision, and termination).
  • Message passing mechanisms for decoupled communication between components.
  • Hierarchical actor structures to organize complex business logic.
  • Fault tolerance strategies including restart policies and circuit breakers.

Example prompts

  • "Create an Akka.NET actor system that processes incoming user orders asynchronously while logging errors to a separate supervisor."
  • "Configure a hierarchical actor tree where the root coordinator distributes tasks to worker actors based on current load metrics."
  • "Implement a fault-tolerant email notification service using Akka actors that automatically retries failed sends after a delay."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your .NET environment has the necessary Akka.NET packages installed before attempting to define actor hierarchies. Be mindful of the overhead introduced by message serialization when designing high-frequency communication patterns between actors.
