Taken from the source listing. We haven't verified who controls this account.

Install target

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 copyleftdev/sk1llz at 92361f525f.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

Scanned
1 file, 228 lines
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 expertise in modern C++ design principles and best practices. It can analyze existing C++ code for potential improvements, suggest refactoring strategies to enhance readability and maintainability, and generate new C++ code snippets based on specified requirements. The skill focuses on applying contemporary techniques within the C++ language.

When to use it

  • Code Review: Have the agent review a C++ codebase to identify areas for improvement in design or efficiency.
  • Refactoring Assistance: Ask the agent to suggest and implement refactorings for complex C++ functions or classes.
  • Code Generation: Generate small code snippets implementing specific algorithms or data structures using modern C++ features.
  • Learning Modern C++: Use the skill to understand how to apply new language features in practical scenarios.

Key capabilities

  • Modern C++ design patterns
  • Refactoring suggestions
  • Code analysis
  • C++ code generation

Example prompts

  • "Review this C++ function and suggest improvements for readability."
  • "Generate a C++ class implementing a thread-safe queue using modern techniques."
  • “How can I refactor this inheritance hierarchy to reduce complexity?”

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires a basic understanding of C++ programming concepts. Providing clear, concise code snippets or descriptions is crucial for optimal results.
