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 j-morgan6/elixir-claude-optimization at cdfddac58a.

    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 foundational Elixir programming knowledge to AI agents. It allows the agent to understand and generate basic Elixir code, including defining modules, functions, and data structures. The skill enables the agent to reason about and manipulate simple Elixir programs for tasks like data transformation or logic implementation.

When to use it

  • Code Generation: Generate snippets of Elixir code based on natural language descriptions.
  • Code Explanation: Explain what a given piece of Elixir code does, line by line.
  • Debugging Assistance: Help identify and correct errors in existing Elixir code.
  • Learning Tool: Provide examples and explanations for someone learning the basics of Elixir programming.

Key capabilities

  • Elixir syntax understanding
  • Module definition
  • Function creation
  • Data structure manipulation

Example prompts

  • "Write an Elixir function that calculates the factorial of a number."
  • "Explain what this Elixir code does: defmodule MyModule do def greet(name) do :io.puts("Hello, " <> name end end"
  • “How can I define a list in elixir?”

Tips & gotchas

This skill provides basic understanding; more complex Elixir concepts will require additional skills or training. The agent's ability to generate correct code depends on the clarity and specificity of your prompts.
