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 a .NET library for building and orchestrating durable functions, allowing you to create long-running workflows that can be paused, resumed, and compensated. It enables the creation of stateful function apps that are resilient to failures and can coordinate complex tasks across multiple services or components. Durable Functions simplify the development of reliable and scalable backend processes.

When to use it

  • Orchestrating Complex Workflows: Automate multi-step processes like order fulfillment, data processing pipelines, or approval workflows.
  • Long-Running Tasks: Handle tasks that take longer than a typical HTTP request duration, such as image rendering or report generation.
  • Resilient Backend Processes: Build systems that can recover from failures and continue execution without losing progress.

Key capabilities

  • Durable Functions SDK for .NET
  • Orchestrator patterns (Sequential, Fan-Out/Fan-In)
  • State management within workflows
  • Fault tolerance and retry policies

Example prompts

  • "Create a workflow to process customer orders, including inventory checks and payment processing."
  • "Build a function that generates weekly sales reports from multiple data sources."
  • “Orchestrate the steps for onboarding a new user, including account creation and email verification.”

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires familiarity with .NET development and Azure Functions.
  • Understand the concept of orchestrators and entities to effectively design durable functions.
