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 wshobson/agents at 46891e7e60.

    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-review-excellence skill enables AI agents to perform in-depth code reviews, identifying potential bugs, security vulnerabilities, and performance issues. It provides actionable feedback on coding standards, readability, and best practices specific to backend development.

When to use it

  • Before merging a feature branch into the main repository to ensure quality.
  • When reviewing pull requests from external contributors or junior developers.
  • To enforce consistent coding standards across a team.
  • As part of an automated CI/CD pipeline for continuous code quality checks.

Key capabilities

  • Detects common programming errors and logical flaws.
  • Analyzes code for security vulnerabilities like SQL injection or XSS.
  • Suggests improvements in performance, memory usage, and scalability.
  • Enforces adherence to style guides and best practices.

Example prompts

  • "Review this Python backend service for potential bugs and suggest improvements."
  • "Check the Node.js API endpoint for security issues and performance bottlenecks."
  • "Analyze this Go code for compliance with our team's coding standards."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure that the AI agent has access to your project’s specific style guides or frameworks.
  • While the skill is highly effective, it should not replace human judgment in complex architectural decisions.
