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 perform low-level bitwise operations on integers in Dart, allowing for direct manipulation of binary representations. It supports fundamental operators like AND, OR, XOR, and NOT, as well as shifting bits left or right to optimize data handling and memory usage.
When to use it
- Implementing custom compression algorithms that require packing multiple flags into a single integer field.
- Optimizing performance-critical code where bitwise math is faster than standard arithmetic operations.
- Interfacing with hardware registers or legacy systems that communicate via binary protocols.
- Creating efficient data structures like bitmasks for managing user permissions or game states.
Key capabilities
- Performs logical AND (
&), OR (|), XOR (^), and NOT (~) operations. - Executes left shift (
<<) and right shift (>>) to multiply or divide by powers of two. - Allows direct manipulation of individual bits within an integer value.
Example prompts
- "Calculate the bitwise AND of 255 and 16777215 in Dart."
- "Shift the integer 8 to the left by 3 positions using Dart syntax."
- "Create a bitmask in Dart that has only the 4th bit set to 1."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure input values are valid integers, as bitwise operations on non-integer types will cause runtime errors. Remember that right-shifting signed integers may preserve the sign bit depending on the specific implementation details of the target environment.
