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 vanman2024/ai-dev-marketplace at 35f1f5a5fb.

    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 checkpoint-patterns skill provides structured checkpoints for complex tasks, ensuring progress and preventing errors. It helps break down large projects into manageable steps with clear success criteria at each stage. This allows the AI agent to systematically work through problems and report on its advancement.

When to use it

  • Complex project planning: Use when outlining a multi-stage project requiring careful coordination and verification.
  • Debugging intricate code: Employ for identifying points in a coding process where progress can be assessed and potential issues flagged.
  • Creative writing with multiple drafts: Apply during the creation of longer content, such as articles or stories, to ensure coherence across revisions.
  • Data analysis pipelines: Utilize when building workflows that require validation at each processing step.

Key capabilities

  • Structured checkpoints
  • Progress tracking
  • Error prevention
  • Task breakdown

Example prompts

  • "Create a plan for writing a blog post, using checkpoint patterns to ensure clarity and flow."
  • "Outline the steps needed to debug this Python script, including specific checkpoints for verification."
  • “Generate a checklist of stages with checkpoints for building a simple web application.”

Tips & gotchas

The skill is most effective when provided with clear goals or objectives upfront. Without defined success criteria at each checkpoint, the AI agent may struggle to determine progress accurately.
