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 markpitt/claude-skills at 43b02eee90.

    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 leverages expertise in Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns to assist with frontend UI and user experience development workflows. It can identify appropriate patterns for specific problems, generate production-ready implementations in multiple programming languages, and explain how patterns work together or when they should be used. The skill guides users through a two-phase process: analyzing the problem and selecting a pattern, followed by implementation.

When to use it

  • You're facing a recurring design challenge in your frontend development and need help identifying an appropriate solution using GoF patterns.
  • You want a complete, working code example of a specific GoF pattern implemented in a language like C#, Rust, Python, Dart, Go, GenAIScript, TypeScript, or C.
  • You're unsure when to apply a particular design pattern and need guidance on use cases and alternatives.

Key capabilities

  • Pattern Selection: Analyzes problems and recommends appropriate GoF patterns.
  • Implementation Generation: Creates complete code implementations of selected patterns in various programming languages (C#, Rust, Python, Dart, Go, GenAIScript, TypeScript, C).
  • Explanation & Alternatives: Explains why a pattern fits a problem and suggests alternative approaches.
  • Pattern Categories Covered: Creational, Structural, and Behavioral patterns are all supported. Specific patterns include Singleton, Factory Method, Adapter, Chain of Responsibility, and many more (see full list in source).
  • Resource Access: Provides access to quick pattern selection guides and detailed descriptions within category-specific resource files.

Example prompts

  • "I need help with a system where I only want one instance of a class. What design pattern should I use?"
  • "Implement the Adapter pattern in TypeScript."
  • "How can I combine the Strategy and Observer patterns to manage user interface updates?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Be prepared to describe your problem clearly for accurate pattern selection. The skill may ask clarifying questions.
  • The skill supports a wide range of programming languages, but confirm that your desired language is included in the supported list.
  • Utilize the provided resources (pattern-selection guide and category files) for deeper understanding and more targeted assistance.
