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 parcadei/continuous-claude-v3 at d07ff4b06b.

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

About this skill

What it does

This skill ensures that operations are idempotent, meaning they can be executed multiple times without changing the result beyond the initial application. It achieves this through redundancy and verification, guaranteeing a consistent state even with potential failures or repeated requests. The core function is to prevent unintended side effects from repeated actions within an AI agent workflow.

When to use it

  • Automated workflows: When executing sequences of commands where reliability is paramount, such as deploying code or updating configurations.
  • Unreliable network conditions: To handle situations where requests might be retried due to intermittent connectivity issues.
  • Critical data updates: Ensuring that sensitive information is updated correctly and consistently, even if the process is interrupted.
  • Complex API interactions: When interacting with APIs that may have unpredictable behavior or require specific ordering of operations.

Key capabilities

  • Idempotent operation execution
  • Redundancy implementation
  • Verification of results
  • Prevention of unintended side effects

Example prompts

  • "Run the deployment script idempotently."
  • "Update the database with these changes, ensuring it's idempotent."
  • "Execute this API call and verify its idempotency."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires careful integration into existing workflows to ensure proper verification and redundancy. It’s most effective when applied to operations that have a clearly defined "done" state that can be reliably checked.
