Automated safety checks
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.

About this skill

What it does
This skill enables AI agents to generate, debug, and manage gRPC services across multiple programming languages. It handles the full lifecycle of service definition, including creating .proto files, generating code stubs, and configuring server implementations for high-performance microservices.
When to use it
- You need to set up a new gRPC service from scratch with defined request/response schemas.
- Your team requires cross-language interoperability between services (e.g., Python clients connecting to Go servers).
- You are debugging existing gRPC implementations or optimizing performance metrics like latency and throughput.
- You need to generate boilerplate code for gRPC libraries in languages like Java, C++, or Node.js.
Key capabilities
- Generates
.protodefinition files with custom message types and service methods. - Produces language-specific client and server stubs using official gRPC plugins.
- Configures server-side implementations with support for streaming and bidirectional communication.
- Validates service definitions against standard gRPC protocol requirements.
Example prompts
- "Create a
.protofile for an inventory management service with methods to add, update, and delete products." - "Generate Python client and server stubs for a weather API defined in the following proto schema."
- "Debug why my gRPC server is returning 'UNAVAILABLE' errors when connecting from a Node.js client."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure you have the appropriate language-specific gRPC plugins installed before generating code, as missing dependencies will cause compilation failures. Always validate your .proto files using protoc before attempting to generate stubs to catch syntax errors early.
