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 g1joshi/agent-skills at 6a74cf03a8.

    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 access to Express, a popular Node.js web application framework. It allows AI agents to create and manage web servers, handle HTTP requests, and define routes for serving dynamic content. The skill facilitates building REST APIs and single-page applications with ease.

When to use it

  • Building a REST API: If your agent needs to expose data or functionality through an API endpoint.
  • Creating a web server: To serve static files, handle user requests, and build interactive web applications.
  • Developing a single-page application (SPA): For constructing modern web interfaces that rely on client-side JavaScript frameworks.
  • Handling HTTP requests: When your agent needs to receive and process data from users or other services via HTTP.

Key capabilities

  • Node.js web application framework
  • HTTP request handling
  • Route definition
  • REST API creation
  • Dynamic content serving

Example prompts

  • "Create a simple Express server that listens on port 3000 and returns 'Hello, world!' for all requests."
  • "Define an endpoint at /users that returns a list of users in JSON format."
  • "Build a basic API with routes for creating, reading, updating, and deleting products."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires a Node.js environment to be available for the AI agent.
  • Familiarity with JavaScript and web development concepts is helpful for effective use of this skill.
