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 geoffjay/claude-plugins at 0ab5ae1b22.

    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 provides patterns and best practices for designing user experiences in command-line interfaces (CLIs). It helps ensure that CLIs are intuitive, efficient, and enjoyable to use. The skill can analyze existing CLI workflows or generate new ones based on specified requirements, focusing on usability and developer satisfaction.

When to use it

  • Designing a new CLI tool: Get suggestions for command structure, argument handling, and output formatting.
  • Improving an existing CLI: Identify areas where the user experience can be streamlined and made more intuitive.
  • Generating example CLI interactions: Quickly create sample sessions demonstrating how users would interact with a CLI.
  • Troubleshooting usability issues: Diagnose why users might be struggling to accomplish tasks within a CLI.

Key capabilities

  • CLI workflow analysis
  • Pattern generation for command structure
  • Argument handling suggestions
  • Output formatting recommendations
  • Usability assessment

Example prompts

  • "Suggest a CLI pattern for managing user accounts, including create, delete, and list operations."
  • "Analyze this existing CLI script [paste script here] and suggest improvements to its usability."
  • "Generate an example interaction demonstrating how a user would update their profile using a CLI."

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on providing clear context about the desired functionality or the specific CLI being analyzed. It is designed for CLIs written in common scripting languages and may require adaptation for more specialized environments.
