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 cap-go/capacitor-skills at c0afb73c85.

    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 capacitor-best-practices skill provides guidance on best practices for working with capacitors in electronic circuits. It covers topics such as proper capacitor selection, safe handling procedures, and optimal placement within circuit designs to ensure reliability and performance.

When to use it

  • When designing a new circuit that requires capacitors for filtering or energy storage.
  • When troubleshooting issues related to voltage instability or noise in an existing circuit.
  • Before soldering or integrating capacitors into a prototype to avoid damage or failure.

Key capabilities

  • Guidance on selecting the right capacitor type (e.g., ceramic, electrolytic) based on application needs.
  • Recommendations for proper capacitor placement and orientation in circuits.
  • Tips for handling and storing capacitors safely to prevent electrical hazards.

Example prompts

  • "What are the best practices for choosing a capacitor for power supply filtering?"
  • "How should I orient an electrolytic capacitor when soldering it into a circuit board?"
  • "What safety precautions should I take when working with high-voltage capacitors?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Always verify the voltage rating of a capacitor before using it in a circuit to avoid breakdown or failure.
  • Electrolytic capacitors have polarity and must be installed correctly; reversing them can cause damage or even explosion.
