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 aws-samples/sample-strands-agent-with-agentcore at 4c1933d9e3.

    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 code-agent skill allows AI agents to generate, understand, and execute code. It can write code snippets in response to natural language instructions, debug existing code, and even run code to achieve specific outcomes. This enables the agent to automate tasks involving programming logic and data manipulation.

When to use it

  • Automated Scripting: Generate Python scripts for repetitive tasks like file processing or data extraction.
  • Code Debugging: Provide a snippet of code and ask the agent to identify and fix errors.
  • Simple Application Development: Create basic applications by requesting code in specific programming languages.
  • Data Analysis Tasks: Request code to perform calculations, visualizations, or other analytical operations on datasets.

Key capabilities

  • Code Generation
  • Code Debugging
  • Code Execution

Example prompts

  • "Write a Python script to scrape all links from example.com."
  • "Debug this JavaScript code: [insert code snippet]"
  • "Generate a simple HTML form with fields for name and email."

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on the clarity of your instructions; be as specific as possible when requesting code. While it can generate code, thorough testing and review are always recommended before deployment.
