Automated safety checks
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.

About this skill
What it does
The format skill allows AI agents to structure and organize text data according to specified rules. It can apply formatting like bullet points, numbered lists, tables, or other defined structures. This is useful for presenting information in a clear, readable, and organized manner, especially when dealing with raw or unstructured text.
When to use it
- Summarizing meeting notes: Transform lengthy transcripts into concise summaries with key action items formatted as bullet points.
- Creating product comparisons: Organize features of competing products into a table for easy comparison.
- Structuring research findings: Present data and observations from research in a clear, structured format like numbered lists or tables.
- Generating outlines: Create detailed outlines for reports or presentations based on provided content.
Key capabilities
- Applies specified formatting rules to text.
- Supports bullet points and numbered lists.
- Can generate tabular data from input.
- Organizes unstructured text into defined structures.
Example prompts
- "Format the following meeting transcript as a summary with action items in a bulleted list."
- "Create a table comparing these three products, listing their features and pricing."
- “Structure this research data into a numbered list of findings.”
Tips & gotchas
The quality of the formatting depends on clear instructions. Providing specific examples of desired output can improve results.
