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 marius-townhouse/effective-typescript-skills at d754db2077.

    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 allows an AI agent to convert callback functions into asynchronous operations using async/await. It facilitates cleaner, more readable code by avoiding nested callbacks and improving the handling of promises. The skill enables easier management of asynchronous workflows within TypeScript projects.

When to use it

  • Refactoring legacy JavaScript or TypeScript code that heavily relies on callbacks.
  • Simplifying complex asynchronous logic involving multiple dependent operations.
  • Improving readability and maintainability of asynchronous functions in new projects.
  • Converting callback-based APIs into more modern, promise-based workflows.

Key capabilities

  • Automatic conversion of callback function signatures to async/await.
  • Promise handling within converted code blocks.
  • TypeScript support for type safety during the conversion process.

Example prompts

  • "Convert this JavaScript code using callbacks into an async function: [code snippet]"
  • "Refactor this TypeScript function that uses callbacks to use async/await."
  • “Can you rewrite this callback-based API call to be asynchronous?”

Tips & gotchas

This skill is most effective when dealing with relatively straightforward callback structures. Complex nested callbacks or highly dynamic callback chains might require manual adjustments after the initial conversion.
