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 igbuend/grimbard at cde088f5d7.

    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 identifies and flags instances of excessive data exposure in frontend code. It helps prevent sensitive information from being inadvertently revealed to users or attackers, improving application security. The anti-pattern focuses on minimizing the amount of data displayed unnecessarily within a user interface.

When to use it

  • Security Audits: During routine security reviews of frontend applications.
  • Code Reviews: To identify potential vulnerabilities during code review processes.
  • New Feature Development: To proactively prevent excessive data exposure when building new features or components.
  • Refactoring Legacy Code: When updating older codebases to improve security posture.

Key capabilities

  • Identifies unnecessary data display in UI elements.
  • Flags potential vulnerabilities related to sensitive information exposure.
  • Supports frontend code review and auditing workflows.

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this component for excessive data exposure."
  • "Review the following code snippet and identify any areas where data is being displayed unnecessarily."
  • "Check this feature implementation for potential security vulnerabilities related to data display."

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires access to the frontend codebase. It's most effective when integrated into a continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline or used during regular code reviews.
