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 jarmen423/skills at d016f7d2c7.

    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 guidance and examples of common backend software design patterns. It helps users understand how to structure applications, improve code maintainability, and address recurring architectural challenges. The skill focuses on providing practical advice rather than theoretical explanations.

When to use it

  • When designing a new API endpoint or microservice.
  • To refactor existing legacy code for improved clarity and performance.
  • During architecture discussions to evaluate different design approaches.
  • When seeking solutions to common backend development problems like scalability or data consistency.

Key capabilities

  • Provides explanations of various backend patterns.
  • Offers practical examples of pattern implementation.
  • Suggests appropriate patterns for specific architectural challenges.
  • Focuses on maintainability and code quality.

Example prompts

  • "What's a good design pattern for handling user authentication?"
  • "How can I implement the Observer pattern in Python?"
  • "I need to build a system that handles asynchronous tasks; what patterns would you recommend?"

Tips & gotchas

The skill assumes some basic familiarity with backend development concepts. While it provides examples, understanding the underlying principles of software design is beneficial for effective application of these patterns.
