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 jasonkneen/kiro at 22577b636d.

    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 generates steering documents for AI agents. These documents provide clear instructions and guidelines to shape an agent's behavior, ensuring it aligns with desired outcomes and ethical considerations. It helps define roles, responsibilities, constraints, and evaluation metrics for the agent’s operation.

When to use it

  • Defining Agent Behavior: Use this skill when you need a structured document outlining how your AI agent should act in specific situations.
  • Project Kickoff: Generate a steering document at the beginning of an AI project to establish clear expectations and boundaries for the agent’s development and deployment.
  • Ethical Alignment: Create a document that explicitly addresses ethical considerations and constraints for your AI agent's actions.
  • Team Communication: Facilitate shared understanding among team members involved in developing or using the AI agent by providing a central reference point.

Key capabilities

  • Generates steering documents
  • Defines roles, responsibilities, and constraints for agents
  • Addresses ethical considerations
  • Establishes evaluation metrics

Example prompts

  • "Create a steering document for an AI assistant that helps users plan travel itineraries."
  • "Generate a document outlining the ethical guidelines for an AI agent providing financial advice."
  • "Draft a steering document defining the responsibilities of an AI chatbot interacting with customers."

Tips & gotchas

The quality of the generated steering document depends on the clarity and specificity of your prompt. Providing detailed context about the agent's purpose, target users, and potential risks will yield better results.
