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 workshop-ventures/skills at 3cce58d9c1.

    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 automates the creation of basic backend project structures. It generates initial files and directory layouts, significantly reducing setup time for new projects. The scaffolding includes common elements like API routes, database connection configurations, and essential middleware.

When to use it

  • You're starting a new web application or API and want to avoid manual file creation.
  • You need a standardized project structure across multiple backend projects.
  • You’re prototyping an idea quickly and don’t want to spend time on boilerplate code.
  • You are working with a team and want to enforce consistent project setup practices.

Key capabilities

  • Automated project scaffolding
  • Generation of initial files (e.g., API routes, configuration)
  • Creation of directory structure
  • Database connection setup

Example prompts

  • "Create a backend scaffold for a Node.js API using Express."
  • "Generate a basic Django backend project with PostgreSQL integration."
  • “Scaffold a new Go backend project.”
