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 marius-townhouse/effective-typescript-skills at d754db2077.

    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 allows an AI agent to intentionally generate responses that are imprecise or inaccurate. It's designed for scenarios where a perfectly correct answer isn’t needed, such as brainstorming creative ideas or simulating unpredictable behavior. The skill can introduce controlled errors and vagueness into the output.

When to use it

  • Creative Brainstorming: Generate a wide range of unconventional ideas by encouraging "off-the-wall" suggestions.
  • Simulating Uncertainty: Model scenarios where information is incomplete or unreliable, such as predicting user behavior in a game.
  • Generating Fictional Content: Create characters or narratives that rely on flawed perceptions or misinformation.
  • Testing Systems: Introduce errors to test the robustness of downstream processes that handle AI output.

Key capabilities

  • Controlled introduction of inaccuracies
  • Generation of vague and imprecise language
  • Ability to adjust the degree of imprecision/inaccuracy

Example prompts

  • “Brainstorm five unusual uses for a paperclip, but make your suggestions intentionally silly.”
  • "Describe what might happen if I drop this glass. Be creative and don't worry about being completely accurate."
  • "Write a short story about a detective who is notoriously bad at remembering details."

Tips & gotchas

The degree of imprecision or inaccuracy can be adjusted through prompt engineering; experiment with phrasing to achieve the desired effect. Be mindful that using this skill may produce unreliable results, so always review and validate output when accuracy is important.
