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 pjt222/development-guides at bcca822c1c.

    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 generates a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) from a high-level project description. It decomposes complex projects into smaller, more manageable tasks and subtasks, defining the scope of work required for successful completion. The output is structured as an outline suitable for planning and tracking progress.

When to use it

  • Project Planning: Quickly create a foundational WBS when starting a new project with vague initial requirements.
  • Scope Definition: Clarify project boundaries by breaking down deliverables into specific tasks.
  • Task Assignment: Facilitate task assignment by providing a detailed list of work packages.
  • Estimating Effort: Support more accurate effort estimation for each component of the project.

Key capabilities

  • Generates hierarchical WBS outlines.
  • Decomposes high-level goals into actionable tasks.
  • Structures output as an outline format.

Example prompts

  • "Create a work breakdown structure for building a mobile app."
  • "Generate a WBS for organizing a community fundraising event."
  • “Outline the tasks needed to launch a new marketing campaign.”

Tips & gotchas

The quality of the WBS depends heavily on the clarity and detail provided in the initial project description. Be as specific as possible when describing the overall goal or deliverable.
