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 autohandai/community-skills at 75eaf75a36.

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

1 file, 221 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 helps design RESTful APIs. It focuses on creating well-structured endpoints, appropriate HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), and clear request/response formats. The goal is to produce API specifications that are easy to understand and implement by developers.

When to use it

  • Designing a new backend service: Use this skill when you need to define the structure of an API for a new application or feature.
  • Refactoring existing APIs: Improve clarity and consistency in older, less structured APIs.
  • Documenting API endpoints: Generate clear documentation from your API design specifications.
  • Collaborating with development teams: Ensure everyone is on the same page regarding API structure and functionality.

Key capabilities

  • RESTful endpoint definition
  • HTTP method selection (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
  • Request/response format specification
  • API documentation generation

Example prompts

  • "Design a RESTful API for managing customer orders."
  • "Give me the endpoints for an API that allows users to create and retrieve blog posts."
  • "Generate documentation for a GET request endpoint that retrieves product details by ID."

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes basic familiarity with REST principles. Providing clear context about data models and desired functionality will yield better results.
