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

What it does

This skill provides best practices for building robust, scalable applications using Akka.NET. It guides AI agents in implementing actor model patterns to manage concurrency and state effectively within .NET environments.

When to use it

  • Designing high-concurrency systems requiring isolated execution contexts per task.
  • Building distributed applications that need fault tolerance and message-based communication.
  • Creating event-sourced architectures where state changes must be immutable and traceable.
  • Developing microservices that require loose coupling between components via asynchronous messaging.

Key capabilities

  • Actor lifecycle management (creation, supervision, termination)
  • Message routing strategies (point-to-point, broadcast, fan-in/fan-out)
  • Fault isolation through supervisor hierarchies
  • Asynchronous communication patterns without shared mutable state
  • Integration with .NET dependency injection containers

Example prompts

  • "Create an Akka.NET actor to process incoming user requests asynchronously."
  • "Implement a fault-tolerant pipeline using Akka supervisors for data transformation tasks."
  • "Set up a distributed message broker pattern in .NET using Akka actors."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the Akka.NET runtime is properly initialized before spawning actors. Avoid blocking actor threads with synchronous operations to maintain non-blocking performance.
