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 benjaming/ai-skills at d3fc506579.

    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 refactor code to adhere to SOLID principles. It identifies violations of these principles within existing code and suggests improvements, leading to more maintainable and extensible software designs. The agent can analyze code for single responsibility, open/closed principle adherence, Liskov substitution, interface segregation, and dependency inversion.

When to use it

  • Legacy Codebases: Refactor older code that lacks clear structure or is difficult to modify.
  • New Feature Development: Ensure new features are designed with SOLID principles from the start.
  • Code Reviews: Automate identification of potential SOLID violations during code review processes.
  • Improving Testability: SOLID design often leads to more testable code, so use this skill when aiming for better testing coverage.

Key capabilities

  • Identifies Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) violations
  • Analyzes Open/Closed Principle (OCP) adherence
  • Evaluates Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) compliance
  • Checks Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) application
  • Assesses Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP) implementation

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this code snippet for SRP violations and suggest improvements."
  • "Refactor this class to better adhere to the Open/Closed Principle."
  • “Can you identify any Liskov Substitution Principle issues in this inheritance hierarchy?”

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on providing clear, well-formatted code as input. It is best suited for object-oriented programming languages where SOLID principles are directly applicable.
