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 slanycukr/riot-api-project at 5e4024e417.

    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

The httpx skill enables AI agents to make HTTP requests, retrieve data from APIs, and process responses. It simplifies interacting with web services by handling request construction, error management, and response parsing. This allows the agent to gather information, trigger actions on remote systems, or integrate with external tools.

When to use it

  • Data Retrieval: Fetch current weather conditions from a weather API based on a user's location.
  • API Integration: Automatically create tickets in a support system by sending data to the ticketing platform’s API.
  • Web Scraping (with caution): Extract specific information from websites, although ethical considerations and website terms of service should always be respected.
  • Automated Tasks: Trigger actions on external services like sending emails or updating databases via their APIs.

Key capabilities

  • Makes HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.)
  • Handles request headers and parameters
  • Manages error responses and retries
  • Parses JSON and other common response formats

Example prompts

  • "Get the current price of Bitcoin from the CoinGecko API."
  • "Send a POST request to [API endpoint] with this data: { 'key': 'value' }."
  • “Retrieve user profile information for ID 12345 from the internal CRM API.”

Tips & gotchas

The agent needs access to valid API keys or credentials if required by the target API. Be mindful of rate limits and potential costs associated with frequent API calls.
