Install target

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 djankies/claude-configs at a82763a6e7.

    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 helps identify and explain type errors in code. It can analyze code snippets, pinpoint the exact location of the error, and provide a clear explanation of why the type mismatch occurred. The skill is designed to be helpful for developers working with various programming languages and frameworks.

When to use it

  • You're encountering cryptic type error messages you don't understand.
  • You’re debugging code in a language known for strict typing (e.g., TypeScript, Python).
  • You need help understanding why your function isn't receiving the expected data types as input.
  • You are refactoring existing code and want to ensure type safety.

Key capabilities

  • Type error identification
  • Error location pinpointing
  • Clear explanation of type mismatch causes

Example prompts

  • "Explain this TypeScript error: 'Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'number'."
  • "I’m getting a TypeError in my Python code. Can you help me understand why?"
  • “Analyze the following JavaScript code and identify any potential type errors: [code snippet]”

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires providing the relevant code snippet as input for accurate analysis. The quality of the explanation depends on the clarity and completeness of the provided code.
