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 davila7/claude-code-templates at 79182c51fb.

    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 enables AI agents to adhere to a set of principles or "constitution" during their responses. It guides the agent's reasoning and output, ensuring alignment with specific values or guidelines. The constitution acts as a framework for self-evaluation and refinement, leading to more responsible and ethical outputs from the AI agent.

When to use it

  • Generating sensitive content: When creating text related to potentially controversial topics (e.g., politics, healthcare), to ensure responses are balanced and unbiased.
  • Customer service interactions: To guarantee consistent adherence to company values and brand voice in automated conversations.
  • Creative writing with ethical considerations: When crafting stories or narratives that explore complex moral themes, ensuring the AI agent's output aligns with desired principles.
  • Code generation with safety constraints: To guide code-generating agents towards producing secure and reliable software by incorporating security best practices as constitutional principles.

Key capabilities

  • Adherence to a defined constitution of principles.
  • Self-evaluation of responses against the constitution.
  • Refinement of outputs based on constitutional guidelines.
  • Alignment with specific values or ethical frameworks.

Example prompts

  • "Write a blog post about climate change, adhering to these principles: [list of principles]."
  • "Generate code for a user authentication system, ensuring it prioritizes security and privacy."
  • "Respond to this customer complaint while maintaining a respectful and empathetic tone according to our company's values."

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of this skill depends heavily on the clarity and comprehensiveness of the provided constitution. A poorly defined or ambiguous constitution may lead to unpredictable results.
