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 mx-space/core at 4179512d0f.

    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 helps AI agents understand and adhere to common API conventions. It can interpret documentation, identify required parameters, and format requests according to established standards. The goal is to improve the reliability and accuracy of interactions with external APIs by ensuring consistent request structures.

When to use it

  • Integrating with new services: When an agent needs to interact with a service for which you have API documentation available.
  • Debugging API errors: If an agent consistently fails when calling an API, this skill can help identify issues related to incorrect formatting or missing parameters.
  • Automating repetitive tasks: When automating workflows that involve multiple API calls, ensuring adherence to conventions reduces the risk of errors and simplifies maintenance.
  • Standardizing API interactions: To enforce consistent request structures across different agents interacting with the same APIs.

Key capabilities

  • API documentation interpretation
  • Parameter identification
  • Request formatting according to standards

Example prompts

  • "Explain the authentication requirements for the Stripe API."
  • "Format this data as a JSON payload suitable for the OpenAI Chat Completions endpoint."
  • "What are the required parameters for creating a new user in Salesforce?"

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of this skill depends on the availability and clarity of the target API's documentation. Ensure that relevant documentation is accessible to the agent before using this skill.
