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 nickcrew/claude-ctx-plugin at bb47af79ad.

    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 optimizes software builds to reduce compilation time and improve overall efficiency. It analyzes build processes, identifies bottlenecks, and suggests or implements changes like parallelization, caching strategies, and dependency optimization. The goal is to significantly speed up development cycles and resource utilization.

When to use it

  • Slow Build Times: When your project's builds take an excessively long time, hindering developer productivity.
  • Resource Constraints: In environments with limited computing resources (e.g., CI/CD pipelines), optimizing build times can reduce costs.
  • Large Projects: For projects with a large codebase and numerous dependencies, build optimization becomes increasingly crucial.
  • Frequent Builds: When builds are triggered often (e.g., during active development or automated testing).

Key capabilities

  • Build process analysis
  • Parallelization of compilation tasks
  • Caching strategies implementation
  • Dependency optimization

Example prompts

  • "Analyze the build process for my project and suggest optimizations."
  • "Implement parallel builds to reduce overall compile time."
  • "Optimize dependencies in my project to minimize build size and speed up compilation."

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of this skill depends on access to the build system configuration files. Ensure the AI agent has appropriate permissions to analyze and modify these files for optimal results.
