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 lyndonkl/claude at 4acc337d4d.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This agent specializes in streamlining the creation of funding applications by analyzing project details and aligning them with specific grant requirements. It generates structured, persuasive narratives that highlight impact and feasibility to increase approval chances.

When to use it

  • You need to draft a comprehensive proposal for a foundation or government funding body quickly.
  • Your team has strong technical ideas but lacks the time to write formal grant documentation.
  • You want to ensure your application strictly adheres to complex eligibility criteria and formatting rules.
  • You require multiple variations of an executive summary to test different angles with reviewers.

Key capabilities

  • Analyzes project descriptions to extract core value propositions.
  • Maps project goals against specific grant guidelines and scoring rubrics.
  • Generates structured sections including budgets, timelines, and impact metrics.
  • Refines tone and language to match the expectations of specific funding organizations.

Example prompts

  • "Here is our project summary and a PDF of the National Science Foundation guidelines; draft a full proposal highlighting our alignment with their priority areas."
  • "Rewrite this rough concept note into a formal grant application for the Gates Foundation, focusing on community health outcomes."
  • "Generate three distinct executive summaries for my climate tech startup tailored to venture philanthropy, corporate CSR, and government R&D grants."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you provide the specific text of the grant guidelines or eligibility criteria alongside your project details; vague instructions will result in generic outputs. Always review generated budget sections carefully, as agents may invent unrealistic cost figures without specific financial data.
