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 blencorp/claude-code-kit at d1b17ed60a.

    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 access to the Express.js framework, a popular Node.js web application framework. It enables AI agents to create robust and scalable server-side applications with features like routing, middleware support, and templating. The agent can use this skill to build APIs, handle HTTP requests, and serve dynamic content.

When to use it

  • Building REST APIs: Quickly generate API endpoints for your application using Express's routing capabilities.
  • Creating web applications: Develop full-stack web apps by combining the backend logic of Express with frontend technologies.
  • Handling HTTP requests: Process incoming HTTP requests and responses efficiently, implementing custom middleware as needed.
  • Serving dynamic content: Generate HTML pages or JSON data based on user input or database queries.

Key capabilities

  • Routing
  • Middleware support
  • Templating
  • HTTP request handling

Example prompts

  • "Create an Express route that handles GET requests to /hello and returns 'Hello, world!'"
  • "Implement middleware in Express to log all incoming requests."
  • "Generate a simple Express server that serves static files from the public directory."

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires a basic understanding of Node.js and JavaScript. Ensure your AI agent has access to a suitable environment with Node.js installed before attempting to use this skill.
