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 wdm0006/python-skills at 954796b7fc.

    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 enables AI agents to design Python APIs, focusing on clear interfaces and maintainable code. It can generate API specifications based on natural language descriptions, create basic API endpoints with appropriate request handling, and suggest improvements for existing API designs. The agent will produce well-structured Python code adhering to common best practices.

When to use it

  • Rapid prototyping: Quickly generate a basic API structure for a new project without extensive manual coding.
  • API refactoring: Get suggestions on how to improve the design and clarity of an existing API.
  • Code generation from specifications: Translate high-level descriptions into functional Python API code.
  • Learning best practices: See examples of well-designed APIs and learn about common patterns.

Key capabilities

  • Generates API specifications from natural language.
  • Creates basic API endpoints with request handling.
  • Suggests improvements to existing API designs.
  • Produces Python code adhering to best practices.

Example prompts

  • "Design a simple REST API for managing books, including endpoints for creating, reading, updating, and deleting."
  • "I have this existing API endpoint; can you suggest ways to improve its design?"
  • "Generate an OpenAPI specification for an API that allows users to upload images and retrieve their metadata."

Tips & gotchas

The agent’s output is a starting point. Review the generated code carefully, especially for complex logic or security considerations. A basic understanding of Python and RESTful APIs will help you effectively utilize this skill.
