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, tdd-cycle, enables AI agents to follow a Test-Driven Development (TDD) cycle. It guides the agent through writing tests first, then implementing code to pass those tests, and finally refactoring for improved design. The skill is designed specifically for use with Rails applications.

When to use it

  • When developing new features in a Rails application where rigorous testing is desired.
  • To refactor existing Rails code by incrementally improving its test coverage and structure.
  • For onboarding new developers to a Rails project, providing a structured approach to development.
  • When needing assistance with writing comprehensive unit tests for Rails models or controllers.

Key capabilities

  • Test generation based on user requirements
  • Code implementation to pass generated tests
  • Refactoring of existing code to improve design and maintainability
  • Rails application specific testing guidance

Example prompts

  • "Write a TDD cycle for a new Rails model called 'Product' with attributes name and price."
  • "Implement the test suite for my existing Rails controller action, 'create'."
  • "Refactor this Rails code using a TDD approach to improve its readability."

Tips & gotchas

This skill is most effective when used within a Rails development environment. Ensure that your project has a testing framework (like RSpec or Minitest) already set up before invoking the skill.
