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 testany-io/testany-agent-skills at f9b3e6fc89.

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

About this skill

What it does

The guardrails-writer skill helps AI agents generate structured guardrail documents. It can take a prompt and output a formatted document suitable for use with guardrails systems, ensuring consistent and enforceable safety protocols. This facilitates the creation of robust and reliable AI agent behavior.

When to use it

  • Defining Agent Boundaries: When you need to clearly outline acceptable behaviors and limitations for an AI agent in specific scenarios.
  • Automating Guardrail Creation: To streamline the process of generating guardrails, reducing manual effort and potential inconsistencies.
  • Ensuring Safety Compliance: When building agents that must adhere to strict safety guidelines or regulatory requirements.
  • Standardizing Responses: When you need a consistent format for how your agent responds in certain situations.

Key capabilities

  • Generates structured guardrail documents.
  • Accepts prompts as input.
  • Formats output for compatibility with guardrails systems.

Example prompts

  • "Write a guardrail document for an AI assistant that provides financial advice, ensuring it avoids giving specific investment recommendations."
  • "Generate a guardrail outlining acceptable responses when the agent is asked about sensitive personal information."
  • “Create a guardrail to ensure the agent only uses positive and encouraging language.”

Tips & gotchas

The quality of the generated guardrail depends heavily on the clarity and specificity of the input prompt. Providing detailed context and desired constraints will yield better results.
