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 aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts at 3f5182cfd7.

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

About this skill

The api-filtering-sorting skill enables AI agents to dynamically refine API responses by applying custom filters and sorting logic directly within the agent's workflow. It allows you to extract specific data points from large datasets and order them based on defined criteria like date, value, or priority without needing external processing tools.

When to use it

  • Extracting only active user accounts from a full database export before analyzing engagement metrics.
  • Sorting financial transaction logs by amount in descending order to identify top spenders instantly.
  • Filtering error logs to show only critical-level entries occurring after a specific timestamp.
  • Narrowing down product inventory lists to items with stock levels below a defined threshold.

Key capabilities

  • Dynamic Filtering: Apply conditions to API response data to return only relevant subsets.
  • Flexible Sorting: Order results by various fields and directions (ascending/descending).
  • Workflow Integration: Execute these operations natively within the AI agent's execution chain.

Example prompts

  • "Fetch the last 100 sales records from the API, filter for those over $500, and sort them by date."
  • "Get all user profiles where the status is 'inactive' and order the list alphabetically by username."
  • "Retrieve server health metrics, filter out any entries marked as 'warning', and sort the remaining ones by uptime duration."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your API responses contain the necessary fields for filtering and sorting; missing data may result in empty or incomplete results. Test complex logical conditions incrementally to verify that the agent interprets your filtering rules correctly before running large-scale queries.
