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 bbeierle12/skill-mcp-claude at 00b298e07e.

    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 backend development guidelines to ensure code quality, maintainability, and adherence to best practices. It helps generate consistent and reliable backend code by enforcing coding standards, suggesting appropriate architectural patterns, and offering guidance on common backend tasks. The skill aims to improve developer productivity and reduce technical debt in backend projects.

When to use it

  • Generating boilerplate code for a new API endpoint.
  • Reviewing existing backend code for potential improvements or inconsistencies.
  • Advising on architectural decisions for a complex backend system.
  • Ensuring adherence to coding standards within a development team.

Key capabilities

  • Enforces coding standards and best practices.
  • Suggests appropriate architectural patterns.
  • Provides guidance on common backend tasks.
  • Generates consistent and reliable code.

Example prompts

  • "Generate the boilerplate for a REST API endpoint that retrieves user data."
  • "Review this Python function and suggest improvements to its efficiency and readability."
  • "What are some recommended architectural patterns for building a microservices-based backend?"

Tips & gotchas

The skill is most effective when used with clear coding standards already defined. While it can offer suggestions, it's crucial to understand the underlying principles and adapt the recommendations accordingly.
