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.
Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill
What it does
The dev-server-sandbox skill provides a local development server environment. It allows you to quickly spin up isolated environments for testing and experimentation, preventing conflicts with existing projects or system configurations. This is particularly useful when needing to test code changes in a controlled setting without affecting the broader system.
When to use it
- Testing new libraries: Quickly evaluate a new JavaScript library without impacting your main project's dependencies.
- Reproducing bugs: Create a minimal, reproducible environment to isolate and debug issues.
- Experimenting with configurations: Safely test different server configurations (e.g., port numbers, middleware) in an isolated space.
- Developing local tools: Build and test custom development tools without interfering with existing projects.
Key capabilities
- Local development server creation
- Isolated environment for testing
- Dependency management within the sandbox
- Configuration control
Example prompts
- "Create a dev server sandbox using Node 18."
- "Start a local development server with Express and CORS enabled."
- “Set up a dev-server-sandbox with React and TypeScript.”
Tips & gotchas
The skill requires Node.js to be installed on your system. Be mindful of the resources used by the sandbox environment, as running multiple sandboxes simultaneously can impact performance.
