Matched to the vendor's own GitHub organisation.

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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: github.com.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    github.comsource host

  • 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 anthropics/anthropic-cookbook at d7265d6ae9.

    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 anthropics-cookbook-audit skill provides a mechanism to audit and verify recipes within the Anthropics Cookbook. It allows users to check recipe correctness, identify potential errors, and ensure adherence to best practices. This skill aims to improve the reliability and safety of generated content by validating underlying instructions.

When to use it

  • Recipe Verification: Before deploying a new or modified cookbook recipe into production.
  • Error Detection: To proactively find flaws in existing recipes that might lead to unexpected behavior.
  • Quality Assurance: As part of a continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline for cookbook content.
  • Security Checks: To identify potential vulnerabilities or malicious code embedded within recipes.

Key capabilities

  • Recipe auditing
  • Error identification
  • Best practice adherence checks
  • Correctness verification

Example prompts

  • "Audit this recipe: [recipe text]"
  • "Check the correctness of the following cookbook entry: [cookbook entry]"
  • "Identify any potential errors in this Anthropics Cookbook recipe: [recipe text]"

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of the audit depends on the quality and completeness of the provided recipe. Ensure that all relevant context and instructions are included for accurate assessment.
