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.
Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill
What it does
This skill, backend-standards, provides a set of guidelines and best practices for developing robust and maintainable backend systems. It focuses on ensuring code quality through consistent formatting, linting rules, and adherence to architectural patterns. The skill aims to improve developer productivity and reduce technical debt by enforcing standardized coding conventions.
When to use it
- New project setup: To establish a baseline of code quality from the beginning.
- Code reviews: To automatically check for compliance with backend standards during pull requests.
- Refactoring existing codebase: To gradually align legacy code with modern best practices.
- Onboarding new developers: To quickly familiarize them with project-specific coding conventions.
Key capabilities
- Enforces consistent code formatting.
- Applies linting rules for improved code quality.
- Promotes adherence to architectural patterns.
- Provides guidelines for backend development best practices.
Example prompts
- "Apply the backend standards to this Python file."
- "Check this JavaScript code for compliance with the backend-standards."
- "Generate a configuration file based on the backend-standards for a new Node.js project."
Tips & gotchas
The skill requires familiarity with common backend development tools and languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript/Node.js). It's most effective when integrated into an automated build or code review pipeline to ensure continuous compliance.
