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.

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 enables AI agents to design and configure API gateways for microservice architectures. It assists with tasks like routing, authentication, rate limiting, and request/response transformation. The skill provides guidance based on example configurations, allowing users to quickly set up essential gateway functionalities.

When to use it

  • Setting up reverse proxies for microservices.
  • Centralizing API authentication processes.
  • Implementing transformations of requests or responses.
  • Managing traffic flow across different backend services.
  • Enforcing rate limits and quotas on API usage.
  • Versioning APIs and routing requests to specific versions.

Key capabilities

  • API gateway design and configuration assistance.
  • Support for common functionalities like routing, authentication, and rate limiting.
  • Example configurations for Kong Gateway (detailed in the "Kong Configuration" reference guide).
  • Provides guidance on request/response transformation.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a Kong Gateway configuration for routing traffic to my user service."
  • "How can I implement JWT authentication in an API gateway?"
  • "Show me an example of rate limiting using Kong."

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill primarily focuses on configurations compatible with Kong Gateway. Refer to the "Kong Configuration" reference guide for detailed implementation examples.
  • You'll need a working Kong Gateway instance or similar API gateway platform to apply the generated configurations.
