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 progmichaelkibenko/top-coder-agent-skills at a0170301c8.

    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 allows an AI agent to debug Node.js code, identify errors, and suggest fixes. It can analyze stack traces, pinpoint the source of issues within JavaScript files, and provide explanations for debugging steps. The debugger-nodejs skill aims to improve the reliability and stability of Node.js applications by proactively addressing potential problems.

When to use it

  • Troubleshooting failing tests: Use this skill when automated tests are failing and you need help understanding why.
  • Debugging production errors: When encountering unexpected behavior or error logs in a live environment, leverage the skill for rapid diagnosis.
  • Understanding unfamiliar codebases: If working with new Node.js projects, use it to step through logic and identify potential pitfalls.
  • Analyzing stack traces: When presented with complex stack traces, this skill can help simplify them and point to the root cause of the error.

Key capabilities

  • Node.js debugging
  • Stack trace analysis
  • JavaScript file inspection
  • Error explanation

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this Node.js code snippet and identify any potential errors."
  • "Explain what caused this stack trace: [paste stack trace here]"
  • "Debug this failing test case in my Node.js application."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires access to the relevant Node.js codebase or error logs for effective debugging. Providing clear and concise code snippets or error messages will yield better results.
