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 thebushidocollective/han at 19caa51d5f.

    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 provides foundational knowledge of Atomic Design principles, enabling AI agents to structure UI components hierarchically from atoms up to composites. It guides the creation of scalable, maintainable interfaces by enforcing a strict component lifecycle and naming conventions.

When to use it

  • Building complex dashboards: When an interface requires hundreds of interactive elements that need consistent behavior across pages.
  • Refactoring legacy code: To help agents identify monolithic components and break them down into reusable, isolated units.
  • Onboarding new team members: To generate documentation explaining the project's component architecture and design system rules.
  • Prototyping rapidly: To quickly assemble functional UI mockups by combining pre-defined atoms like buttons and inputs without writing repetitive code.

Key capabilities

  • Defines the five core levels of design: Atoms, Molecules, Organisms, Templates, and Pages.
  • Enforces strict dependency rules where higher-level components rely only on lower-level ones.
  • Generates standardized naming conventions for component files and functions.
  • Identifies opportunities to extract reusable patterns from existing codebases.

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this React component tree and refactor it using Atomic Design principles, separating atoms and molecules."
  • "Create a design system documentation page that explains the hierarchy of our current UI library based on Atomic Design."
  • "Generate a set of reusable 'atoms' for a dark-mode toggle, input field, and primary button to be used across the application."

Tips & gotchas

Start with a clear definition of your atoms before attempting to build molecules; skipping this step often leads to tightly coupled, hard-to-maintain code. Ensure the AI agent understands that while the hierarchy is strict, the naming conventions should remain descriptive and consistent throughout the project.
