Automated safety checks

scanned 28 Sept 2026

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 thebushidocollective/han at 19caa51d5f.
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 provides assistance with C++ smart pointers, including unique_ptr, shared_ptr, and weak_ptr. It can generate code snippets for managing memory automatically, preventing memory leaks, and sharing ownership of resources between objects. The skill aims to simplify the use of these advanced C++ features by providing practical examples and explanations.

When to use it

You need help implementing resource management in a C++ project.
You're struggling with memory leaks or dangling pointers.
You want to understand how unique_ptr, shared_ptr, and weak_ptr work and when to use them.
You are refactoring existing code to utilize smart pointers for safer resource handling.

Key capabilities

Generation of C++ code snippets using unique_ptr.
Demonstration of shared ownership with shared_ptr.
Explanation of observer patterns utilizing weak_ptr.
Guidance on preventing memory leaks through proper pointer management.

Example prompts

"Show me how to use a unique_ptr to manage a dynamically allocated integer."
“Can you give an example of using shared_ptr for resource sharing between two classes?”
"Explain how weak_ptr can be used in an observer pattern."

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes basic familiarity with C++ syntax and object-oriented programming concepts. A strong understanding of pointers is helpful to fully grasp the generated code.
