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 ailabs-393/ai-labs-claude-skills at 1a12bc7aad.

    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 codebase-documenter skill analyzes and generates documentation for software projects. It can parse source code, identify key components, and create structured documentation such as API references, architecture diagrams, and usage guides.

When to use it

  • You need to onboard new developers quickly by providing clear project documentation.
  • Your team is preparing a technical review or audit of an existing codebase.
  • You want to generate up-to-date documentation automatically after code changes.

Key capabilities

  • Parses multiple programming languages
  • Generates API reference documentation
  • Creates architecture and dependency diagrams
  • Supports markdown, HTML, and PDF output formats

Example prompts

  • "Generate a README file for this project."
  • "Create an API reference for the user authentication module."
  • "Document the codebase structure with architecture diagrams."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your codebase is well-organized and follows consistent naming conventions for best results.
  • Some advanced features may require additional configuration or integration with version control systems.
