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 applies the Uber Go style guide to Go code. It ensures consistency and adherence to best practices within a codebase, improving readability and maintainability. The skill can format existing code or be used during development to automatically enforce styling rules.

When to use it

  • Code Formatting: Automatically format a large Go codebase to conform to the Uber Go style guide.
  • New Project Setup: Ensure new Go projects start with consistent formatting from the outset.
  • Pull Request Review: Enforce style guidelines during code reviews, reducing bikeshedding and focusing on functionality.
  • Automated Linting: Integrate into CI/CD pipelines to automatically check for style violations before merging changes.

Key capabilities

  • Applies Uber Go style guide formatting rules.
  • Supports existing Go codebases.
  • Can be used during development or as a standalone formatter.

Example prompts

  • "Format this Go code according to the Uber style guide: [paste code here]"
  • "Apply the Uber Go style guide to all .go files in this directory."
  • "Check if this Go file adheres to the Uber style guide and report any violations."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure you have a Go environment set up before using this skill.
  • The skill’s effectiveness depends on the complexity of the existing codebase; heavily customized code might require manual adjustments after formatting.
