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 davila7/claude-code-templates at 79182c51fb.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

behavioral-modes

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to dynamically switch between different coding personas or behavioral modes. It allows the agent to adapt its reasoning style, verbosity, and output format based on specific task requirements without changing the underlying codebase.

When to use it

  • Complex Debugging: Switch to a "Deep Diver" mode for exhaustive log analysis and root cause identification.
  • Rapid Prototyping: Activate a "Speed Runner" mode to generate boilerplate code quickly with minimal explanation.
  • Code Review: Enable a "Strict Auditor" persona to focus solely on security vulnerabilities and performance bottlenecks.
  • Documentation: Toggle to a "Scribe" mode that prioritizes clear, human-readable explanations over technical implementation details.

Key capabilities

  • Dynamic persona switching based on context triggers.
  • Adjustable verbosity levels for output generation.
  • Context-aware reasoning style adaptation.
  • Format-specific response tailoring (e.g., JSON vs. Markdown).

Example prompts

  • "Switch to Deep Diver mode and analyze why this API integration is timing out."
  • "Activate Speed Runner mode to scaffold a React component structure for a dashboard."
  • "Change persona to Strict Auditor and review the provided authentication logic for vulnerabilities."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you explicitly define the desired behavioral mode before asking complex questions, as the agent may default to its standard operating style. Over-switching modes within a single session can lead to inconsistent context retention; stick to one mode per logical task block.
