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 jeffallan/claude-skills at 1be15d8064.

    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

The architecture-designer skill enables AI agents to design and recommend system architectures for backend applications. It provides guidance on selecting appropriate technologies, structuring components, and ensuring scalability and security in software systems.

When to use it

  • Designing a new microservices-based application
  • Evaluating technology stacks for a high-throughput API service
  • Planning the infrastructure for a distributed database system

Key capabilities

  • Recommends scalable backend architectures
  • Suggests suitable programming languages and frameworks
  • Provides guidance on security best practices
  • Helps with component structuring and deployment strategies

Example prompts

  • "Design a backend architecture for a real-time chat application."
  • "What technologies would you recommend for a high-performance e-commerce API?"
  • "How should I structure my system to support horizontal scaling?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure the AI agent has access to up-to-date information on current technologies and best practices.
  • Use this skill in conjunction with other tools that validate security and performance assumptions.
