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 existential-birds/beagle at d1a74899fb.

    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

The go-code-review skill enables AI agents to perform automated code reviews specifically for Go (Golang) projects. It analyzes source code to identify potential bugs, security vulnerabilities, and style inconsistencies against standard practices.

When to use it

  • Pre-merge validation: Run before pushing changes to ensure the team adheres to Go formatting and linting standards.
  • Security auditing: Scan new dependencies or logic blocks for common Go-specific security flaws like buffer overflows or unsafe pointer usage.
  • Onboarding assistance: Help junior developers understand best practices by highlighting deviations from idiomatic Go patterns in pull requests.
  • Legacy refactoring: Evaluate older codebases to identify outdated library versions or deprecated functions that need updating.

Key capabilities

  • Automated static analysis of Go source files.
  • Detection of style violations and formatting errors.
  • Identification of security vulnerabilities within the codebase.
  • Context-aware suggestions for code improvements.

Example prompts

  • "Review this Go function for potential race conditions and memory leaks."
  • "Analyze the latest pull request to ensure it follows standard Go linting rules."
  • "Scan the handlers package for security vulnerabilities before we deploy."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your repository contains valid .go files, as the skill cannot analyze non-Go code or empty directories. For best results, provide specific file paths or context if the agent needs to focus on a particular module rather than reviewing the entire project at once.
