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 rysweet/amplihack at 84424457d5.

    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

The backlog-curator skill helps AI agents manage task lists by organizing, prioritizing, and refining items within a project backlog. It transforms raw input into structured, actionable work queues to improve workflow efficiency.

When to use it

  • You need to convert a messy list of ideas into a prioritized sprint plan.
  • Your team requires automated sorting of incoming tasks based on urgency or impact.
  • You want to generate clear status updates from a disorganized collection of notes.
  • You are managing multiple streams of work and need to consolidate them into a single view.

Key capabilities

  • Organizes unstructured task inputs into logical groups.
  • Prioritizes items based on defined criteria or implicit importance.
  • Refines vague descriptions into clear, actionable instructions.
  • Maintains context across large volumes of backlog items.

Example prompts

  • "Take this list of 50 random ideas and organize them into a weekly sprint backlog."
  • "Prioritize these support tickets based on customer impact and effort required."
  • "Refine these vague meeting notes into specific tasks for the development team."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your input data includes enough context for the agent to make accurate prioritization decisions. For best results, provide clear criteria (e.g., "prioritize by deadline") if the backlog contains mixed types of items.
