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 elliotjlt/claude-skill-potions at 8858a8fe86.

    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, sanity-check, provides a simple way to verify Claude's understanding and reasoning abilities. It assesses whether Claude is accurately interpreting prompts and generating consistent responses by presenting it with a series of straightforward questions and evaluating its answers. The goal is to ensure reliable performance across various tasks.

When to use it

  • Before deploying an AI agent: Use this skill as a preliminary test to gauge the baseline reasoning capabilities of your Claude-powered agent.
  • After making changes to prompts or workflows: Re-run the sanity check to confirm that modifications haven't negatively impacted Claude’s performance.
  • Troubleshooting unexpected behavior: If an AI agent is producing inconsistent or incorrect results, a sanity check can help isolate whether the issue lies within Claude itself.
  • Regular monitoring: Periodically run the skill as part of your ongoing quality assurance process.

Key capabilities

  • Provides a series of simple questions for evaluation.
  • Evaluates Claude’s responses to these questions.
  • Offers a basic assessment of reasoning accuracy.

Example prompts

  • "Run a sanity check."
  • "Perform the sanity test and show me the results."
  • “Can you do a quick sanity check?”

Tips & gotchas

This skill is designed for initial performance checks; it doesn't cover all possible scenarios or complex reasoning tasks. It’s best used in conjunction with more comprehensive testing methods for production-ready AI agents.
