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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: api.openai.com.

    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 involvex/expo-app-skills at 0b19547886.

    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, involvex-expo-api-routes, provides a way to define and manage API routes directly within an Expo application. It allows developers to create backend functionality without needing a separate server, simplifying development workflows and deployment processes. The skill handles routing requests to specific functions based on URL patterns defined in the app's configuration.

When to use it

  • Building simple APIs: Quickly create endpoints for tasks like user authentication or data retrieval within your Expo app.
  • Prototyping backend logic: Test and iterate on server-side functionality without setting up a full-fledged backend infrastructure.
  • Creating webhooks: Implement webhook handling directly within the Expo application, enabling real-time integrations with external services.
  • Serverless functions for mobile apps: Execute code in response to HTTP requests, ideal for tasks like sending push notifications or processing form submissions.

Key capabilities

  • Route definition via configuration files
  • Request handling and routing
  • Integration within an Expo application environment
  • Simplified backend development workflow

Example prompts

  • "Create a route at /api/hello that returns 'Hello, world!'"
  • "Define a POST route at /api/submit to handle form submissions."
  • "Show me the configuration for my API routes."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires an Expo project setup. This skill is designed to be integrated into existing Expo applications.
  • API routes are executed within the context of the Expo application, so consider resource limitations and security implications.
