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 azure-samples/durable-task-scheduler at c05f6ae464.

    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 provides access to Durable Functions for .NET, enabling the orchestration of long-running workflows and stateful function executions. It allows you to build complex backend processes that can handle asynchronous tasks, manage dependencies between functions, and maintain persistent state across multiple invocations. The skill facilitates reliable execution even in the face of failures or scaling events.

When to use it

  • Automating complex business processes: Orchestrate order processing, approval workflows, or data migration pipelines involving multiple steps and dependencies.
  • Building long-running AI tasks: Manage training machine learning models, performing large-scale data analysis, or executing lengthy simulations.
  • Creating stateful chatbots: Handle multi-turn conversations that require maintaining context and tracking user progress over time.
  • Implementing reliable background jobs: Process asynchronous requests like image resizing, video transcoding, or sending email notifications.

Key capabilities

  • Orchestration of long-running workflows
  • State management across function invocations
  • Fault tolerance and reliability
  • Support for .NET development

Example prompts

  • "Create a Durable Function to process customer orders."
  • "Implement an orchestration pattern to manage the steps in our data ingestion pipeline."
  • “Write a durable function that retries failed tasks.”

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires familiarity with .NET and Azure Functions development.
  • Understand the concepts of orchestrators, entities, and input/output bindings within Durable Functions for optimal usage.
