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 cursor/plugins at 118e73b0e1.

    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 create-plugin-scaffold skill provides a starting point for developing new plugins. It generates a basic project structure with essential files, streamlining the initial setup process. This includes configuration and boilerplate code to accelerate plugin development. The generated scaffold allows developers to focus on implementing plugin functionality rather than creating infrastructure from scratch.

When to use it

  • You're building a custom plugin for an application or platform that requires a specific project structure.
  • You want to quickly prototype a new plugin idea without spending time setting up the initial files and configuration.
  • You’re onboarding new developers to your team and need a consistent way to initialize new plugin projects.
  • You're creating a reusable plugin template for future development efforts.

Key capabilities

  • Generates a basic project structure for plugins.
  • Includes essential configuration files.
  • Provides boilerplate code to accelerate development.

Example prompts

  • "Create a plugin scaffold named 'my-new-plugin'."
  • "Generate a new plugin project with the name 'data-transformer'."
  • “Initialize a plugin called ‘image-resizer’ using the create-plugin-scaffold.”

Tips & gotchas

The generated scaffold may require adjustments based on specific platform or application requirements. Review and customize the configuration files to align with your project's needs.
