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 sentenz/skills at 0414902177.

    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 understand and generate documentation for C++ APIs. It can parse header files, extract function signatures and descriptions, and produce formatted documentation in various output formats. The agent can also answer questions about specific API elements based on the parsed information.

When to use it

  • Generating initial drafts of API documentation: Quickly create a base set of documentation from existing C++ codebases.
  • Answering developer questions about an API: Provide instant answers about function parameters, return types, and usage examples.
  • Creating summaries of complex APIs: Condense large amounts of C++ code into easily digestible overviews for new team members.
  • Automating documentation updates: Keep documentation synchronized with changes in the underlying C++ codebase.

Key capabilities

  • Header file parsing
  • Function signature extraction
  • Description generation
  • Documentation formatting (output format unspecified)
  • API element question answering

Example prompts

  • "Generate API documentation for my_library/include/header.h."
  • "Explain the purpose and parameters of the calculateArea() function in geometry.h."
  • "Summarize the functionality of the NetworkManager class from network/networkmanager.h."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires access to the C++ header files for accurate parsing. The quality of generated documentation depends heavily on the clarity and completeness of comments within the code.
