Automated safety checks
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.

About this skill
What it does
The backend-scaffold skill automates the creation of basic backend infrastructure. It generates a foundational project structure, including essential files and configurations, to accelerate development. This includes setting up routing, database connections (though not configuring them), and initial API endpoints. The goal is to provide a starting point for building robust server-side applications quickly.
When to use it
- You're beginning a new backend project and want to avoid repetitive setup tasks.
- You need a standardized base structure for multiple backend services within an organization.
- You’re prototyping a backend API and require a minimal, functional framework.
- You want to quickly establish a foundation for integrating with external databases or APIs.
Key capabilities
- Project scaffolding
- Routing setup
- Database connection placeholders
- Initial API endpoint generation
Example prompts
- "Create a backend scaffold project using Node.js and Express."
- "Generate a basic API structure with routing for user authentication."
- “Set up a new backend project ready to connect to PostgreSQL.”
Tips & gotchas
The skill provides placeholders for database configuration; you'll need to manually configure the connection details based on your specific environment. It assumes a general familiarity with backend development concepts and technologies like Node.js or Express.
