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 metalagman/agent-skills at 023dfe82af.

    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 allows an AI agent to format Go code according to Google's style guide. It can take raw Go source code and automatically apply consistent formatting rules, including indentation, line length, and naming conventions. The resulting code adheres to industry best practices for readability and maintainability.

When to use it

  • Code Review: Quickly reformat a large codebase or pull request to ensure consistency with Google's style guide.
  • Educational Purposes: Demonstrate proper Go coding standards to students or junior developers.
  • Automated Formatting: Integrate into CI/CD pipelines to automatically enforce code style during development.
  • Code Cleanup: Clean up existing Go code that deviates from the Google style guide.

Key capabilities

  • Applies Google's Go formatting rules
  • Handles indentation and line length constraints
  • Enforces naming conventions

Example prompts

  • "Format this Go code: [paste code here]"
  • "Apply Google’s style guide to the following file: main.go"
  • “Reformat this function according to Google's standards: [paste function definition]”

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires access to the input Go code. It is designed for formatting existing code and may not be suitable for generating new code from scratch.
