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 dchuk/rails_ai_agents at e3f5bd8229.

    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 assists with generating and understanding Pundit authorization rules for Ruby on Rails applications. It can generate new policies, modify existing ones, and explain how Pundit's role-based access control system functions within a Rails environment. The agent will leverage the power of Pundit to simplify complex permission logic.

When to use it

  • Generating Pundit authorization policies for newly created models.
  • Troubleshooting issues with existing Pundit rules and understanding why certain users cannot access specific resources.
  • Refactoring or improving existing Pundit code for better readability and maintainability.
  • Creating custom scopes within Pundit to filter data based on user roles and permissions.

Key capabilities

  • Policy generation
  • Rule modification
  • Explanation of Pundit concepts
  • Custom scope creation

Example prompts

  • "Generate a Pundit policy for the 'Article' model."
  • "Explain how to use authorize! in a Rails controller with Pundit."
  • "Modify the existing 'AdminPolicy' to allow admins access to all articles, regardless of ownership."

Tips & gotchas

This skill is most effective when used within the context of a Ruby on Rails project already utilizing Pundit. Providing relevant code snippets or model definitions will improve the quality and accuracy of the generated output.
