Install target

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 fil512/upship at ba752e5c66.

    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 guidance and code suggestions to ensure Node.js projects adhere to best practices. It helps with tasks like structuring project directories, implementing error handling strategies, and writing efficient asynchronous code using async/await. The goal is to improve code maintainability, performance, and security within a Node.js environment.

When to use it

  • Refactoring an existing Node.js application to improve its structure and readability.
  • Starting a new Node.js project and wanting to establish strong coding standards from the beginning.
  • Troubleshooting performance bottlenecks in a Node.js application by identifying inefficient code patterns.
  • Reviewing code written by other developers to ensure adherence to best practices.

Key capabilities

  • Project structure suggestions
  • Error handling implementation
  • Asynchronous code optimization using async/await
  • Code maintainability improvements

Example prompts

  • "Suggest a good project directory structure for a Node.js API."
  • "How should I handle errors in this asynchronous function?" (followed by the function's code)
  • "Refactor this code to use async/await instead of callbacks." (followed by the code)

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes some familiarity with Node.js and JavaScript syntax. While it can provide suggestions, understanding the underlying principles is crucial for effective implementation.
