Automated safety checks

scanned 27 Sept 2026

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
Only contacts known or declared hosts: github.com.
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 vercel-labs/before-and-after at 8306d34f45.
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 before-and-after skill enables users to generate visual comparisons by showing a transformation or change between two states. It is particularly useful for illustrating improvements, modifications, or contrasts in images.

When to use it

To demonstrate design changes in UI/UX before and after an update.
For showcasing the effects of image editing tools like filters or retouching.
When explaining process transformations, such as before and after a renovation project.

Key capabilities

Generates side-by-side visual comparisons.
Supports image-based transformations.
Highlights differences between two states clearly.

Example prompts

"Show me the before and after of this photo with a vintage filter."
"Create a comparison between the original design and the updated layout."
"Generate a before-and-after view of this room renovation."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure that both images are of similar resolution and aspect ratio for accurate comparisons.
This skill may not support video or animated content, so use it primarily with static images.
