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 austintgriffith/ethskills at 06ea4efa08.

    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 building-blocks skill provides foundational capabilities for AI agents, likely enabling them to perform basic reasoning and task decomposition. It allows an agent to break down complex requests into smaller, more manageable steps. This facilitates a modular approach to problem-solving and improves the agent's ability to handle intricate tasks.

When to use it

  • Complex Task Decomposition: When you need an AI agent to handle multi-step processes or large projects that require breaking them down into smaller parts.
  • Modular Skill Integration: To provide a base layer of reasoning for other, more specialized skills within your agent's workflow.
  • Improved Reasoning: To enhance the agent’s ability to understand and execute instructions requiring logical steps.
  • Troubleshooting Complex Actions: When an agent is failing on complex tasks, this skill can help identify where the breakdown in logic occurs.

Key capabilities

  • Task decomposition
  • Reasoning
  • Modular workflow support
  • Foundational AI abilities

Example prompts

  • "Break down the process of planning a birthday party into smaller steps."
  • "What are the individual actions required to write a short story?"
  • “Can you outline the necessary stages for researching and writing a blog post?”

Tips & gotchas

This skill likely serves as a prerequisite for more advanced skills. Ensure that other skills in your agent’s toolkit are compatible with its foundational reasoning capabilities.
