Automated safety checks
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.

About this skill
executing-plans
What it does
This skill enables AI agents to systematically break down complex objectives into actionable steps and execute them sequentially. It transforms high-level goals into structured workflows, ensuring tasks are completed in a logical order without manual intervention.
When to use it
- You need an agent to handle multi-stage projects like building a full-stack application from scratch.
- Complex data processing pipelines require strict sequencing of extraction, transformation, and loading steps.
- Automated testing suites must run specific test cases in a defined dependency order.
- Deployment workflows involve multiple stages such as code commit, build verification, and environment rollout.
Key capabilities
- Decomposes abstract goals into discrete, executable tasks.
- Manages task dependencies to ensure correct execution order.
- Tracks progress through each step of the planned workflow.
- Adapts execution flow based on real-time feedback from completed steps.
Example prompts
- "Create a plan to refactor the authentication module and execute it step-by-step."
- "Break down the requirement to integrate Stripe payments into a detailed action list and run it."
- "Plan and execute a sequence of unit tests for the new user dashboard feature."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your initial prompt clearly defines the end goal so the agent can generate an accurate breakdown. Complex plans may require iterative refinement if early steps fail or reveal missing dependencies.
