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 ntcoding/claude-skillz at 21c61010e6.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill encourages AI agents to respond with a measured level of confidence and prioritize honesty in their answers. It aims to reduce overly assertive or misleading statements by prompting the agent to acknowledge uncertainty when appropriate, and to avoid fabricating information. The skill promotes more reliable and trustworthy responses from the AI.

When to use it

  • When you need an AI agent to provide factual information where accuracy is critical (e.g., medical advice, legal guidance).
  • To prevent an AI from confidently stating incorrect or unsubstantiated claims in creative writing scenarios.
  • In situations requiring nuanced opinions or assessments where acknowledging limitations is important.
  • When you want the AI to avoid making up details or "hallucinating" information.

Key capabilities

  • Promotes honest responses.
  • Encourages measured confidence levels.
  • Reduces fabrication of information.
  • Acknowledges uncertainty when appropriate.

Example prompts

  • “Explain [topic] and be sure to indicate if there's any uncertainty or conflicting information.”
  • "Summarize this article, but avoid making definitive statements unless you are certain."
  • “Describe the potential risks of [action], and please state your confidence level in each assessment.”

Tips & gotchas

The skill’s effectiveness depends on the underlying AI model's ability to understand and apply nuanced instructions. It is not a guaranteed solution for preventing all inaccuracies, but it can help steer the agent towards more responsible responses.
