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 ancoleman/ai-design-components at 76551b7b19.

    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

This skill enables AI agents to interact with and utilize API patterns. It allows for structured data retrieval, transformation, and integration from external services. The agent can understand common API structures, handle authentication, and process responses effectively.

When to use it

  • Automating Data Entry: Populate a spreadsheet with customer information retrieved from a CRM API.
  • Real-time Monitoring: Fetch current stock prices or weather data via an API and present them in a user-friendly format.
  • Integrating Third-Party Services: Connect a task management system to a calendar application using their respective APIs.
  • Building Custom Workflows: Orchestrate actions across multiple services by chaining API calls together.

Key capabilities

  • API Pattern Recognition
  • Authentication Handling
  • Response Parsing & Transformation
  • Structured Data Retrieval

Example prompts

  • "Fetch the latest weather forecast for London from the OpenWeatherMap API."
  • "Retrieve all active customer records from Salesforce and format them as a CSV file."
  • "Using the Jira API, find all issues assigned to me with high priority."

Tips & gotchas

The agent requires access to appropriate API keys or credentials. Ensure these are securely provided and managed for each connected service.
