Install target

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 jackspace/claudeskillz at aef4e299d1.

    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 provides guidelines for backend development, ensuring consistency and quality across projects. It helps developers adhere to established coding standards, best practices, and architectural patterns. The goal is to improve code maintainability, reduce technical debt, and accelerate development cycles by providing clear direction.

When to use it

  • When starting a new backend project to establish initial architecture and coding conventions.
  • During code reviews to ensure adherence to established guidelines.
  • For onboarding new developers to a team or project.
  • To refactor existing codebase and improve its quality.

Key capabilities

  • Coding standards enforcement
  • Architectural pattern guidance
  • Best practices recommendations
  • Code review support

Example prompts

  • "Generate code for a REST API endpoint following the backend development guidelines."
  • "Review this Python function and suggest improvements based on the established coding standards."
  • “Explain the recommended architectural patterns for handling user authentication in our backend system.”

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes familiarity with basic backend development concepts. The effectiveness of the skill depends on having clearly defined and documented guidelines to begin with.
