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 aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts at 3f5182cfd7.

    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 enables AI agents to write code that functions correctly across different operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux. It focuses on handling platform-specific nuances such as file paths, environment detection, line endings, character encodings, and build processes. The goal is to ensure applications are accessible and work seamlessly regardless of the user's operating system.

When to use it

  • Building applications intended for multiple operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux).
  • Managing file system operations that need to be consistent across platforms.
  • Detecting the specific operating system or architecture at runtime.
  • Working with environment variables differently based on the platform.
  • Creating cross-platform command-line tools.

Key capabilities

  • Platform-independent path construction using path.join() and path.resolve().
  • Detection of the current operating system.
  • Handling different line ending conventions (e.g., Windows vs. Unix).
  • Management of platform-specific dependencies.
  • Strategies for testing code across various platforms.
  • Using UTF-8 encoding by default.

Example prompts

  • "How can I construct a file path that works on both Windows and macOS?"
  • "What's the best way to detect if my application is running on Linux?"
  • "Show me an example of handling different line endings in a cross-platform script."

Tips & gotchas

  • Avoid hardcoding platform-specific file paths (e.g., using backslashes or forward slashes directly).
  • Remember to test your code on all target platforms to ensure compatibility.
  • Utilize the path and os modules for platform-independent operations.
