Install target

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 mrilikecoding/dotfiles at 1d20ece182.

    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 performs an audit of citations, likely checking for accuracy and completeness. It can identify missing information or inconsistencies within a provided list of citations. The specific details of what constitutes a "complete" or "accurate" citation are not specified in the source content.

When to use it

  • Research Paper Preparation: Before submitting a research paper, ensure all citations are formatted correctly and completely.
  • Academic Writing Review: Quickly check a colleague's work for citation errors.
  • Bibliography Verification: Validate the accuracy of entries in a bibliography or works cited list.
  • Legal Document Review: Verify the correctness of legal precedents and references within a document.

Key capabilities

  • Citation auditing
  • Accuracy checking (implied)
  • Completeness verification (implied)

Example prompts

  • "Please audit these citations: [list of citations]"
  • "Can you check this bibliography for any missing information?"
  • "Review the following citations and identify any potential errors: [citation list]"

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on a clear understanding of citation standards (e.g., APA, MLA). The source content does not specify which citation style is supported or how it determines accuracy.
