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 cxuu/golang-skills at 91f0c2eef5.

    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

go-defensive

What it does

The go-defensive skill provides defensive capabilities within the Go programming language ecosystem, helping AI agents secure applications against common vulnerabilities. It focuses on implementing robust security measures to protect code integrity and data safety.

When to use it

  • Securing new Go projects before deployment to production environments.
  • Auditing existing codebases for potential security flaws or injection points.
  • Integrating authentication and authorization logic into backend services.
  • Hardening APIs against unauthorized access attempts and malicious inputs.

Key capabilities

  • Implements standard defensive patterns specific to the Go runtime.
  • Assists in identifying and mitigating common security risks.
  • Provides guidance on secure coding practices for Golang applications.

Example prompts

  • "Use go-defensive to review this login handler for SQL injection vulnerabilities."
  • "Generate a defensive middleware example for validating user input in a Go web service."
  • "How can I use go-defensive to ensure my API keys are stored securely?"

Tips & gotchas

This skill is specialized for the Go language; do not apply it to Python or JavaScript projects. Always combine automated checks with manual code reviews for critical security decisions.
