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 homestylew/code-comment at bc5623ca2a.

    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 allows AI agents to generate comments for code. It can add explanations, document functions, or provide context within existing code blocks. The generated comments are intended to improve code readability and maintainability by clarifying the purpose of specific sections.

When to use it

  • Documenting a new function: Quickly create initial documentation for newly written code.
  • Explaining complex logic: Generate comments that clarify intricate algorithms or processes within existing code.
  • Improving code readability: Add comments to make older, less-documented code easier to understand and maintain.
  • Generating docstrings: Create concise summaries of functions and classes for use in documentation generation tools.

Key capabilities

  • Generates code comments based on provided code snippets.
  • Supports various programming languages (specific languages not listed).
  • Can add explanations, document functions, or provide context.

Example prompts

  • "Add a comment explaining this function: def calculate_average(numbers): ..."
  • "Generate comments for the following code block: [code snippet]"
  • "Document this class with docstrings: class MyClass: ..."

Tips & gotchas

The quality of generated comments depends on the clarity and structure of the provided code. Ensure that the code is well-formatted to get more accurate and helpful comments.
