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 kevinslin/llm at ea9b73d6b7.

    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

The dev.mermaid skill allows AI agents to generate diagrams and visualizations using the Mermaid JavaScript diagramming and charting tool. It interprets text-based descriptions of diagrams (using Mermaid's syntax) and renders them as visual representations. This is useful for creating flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, and more directly within an agent’s output.

When to use it

  • Documenting workflows: Generate a flowchart representing a complex process described in text.
  • Visualizing data relationships: Create a diagram illustrating the connections between different entities or concepts.
  • Planning project timelines: Produce a Gantt chart based on task descriptions and dependencies.
  • Creating architectural diagrams: Represent software architecture or system design using sequence or component diagrams.

Key capabilities

  • Mermaid syntax interpretation
  • Diagram rendering
  • Support for various diagram types (flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, etc.)

Example prompts

  • "Create a flowchart showing the steps involved in deploying a web application."
  • "Generate a sequence diagram illustrating the communication between a client and server."
  • "Draw a Gantt chart representing the project timeline for developing a mobile app."

Tips & gotchas

  • The agent needs to understand Mermaid syntax. Provide clear instructions or examples if it's unfamiliar with the format.
