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: maven.apache.org, www.w3.org.

    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 curiouslearner/devkit at 3fa45b7ab3.

    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 assists with Java and Maven projects. It can generate pom.xml files, troubleshoot build errors, and suggest dependencies based on project requirements. The agent leverages Maven's structure to understand and manipulate Java projects effectively.

When to use it

  • You need help creating a new Maven project from scratch.
  • Your existing Maven build is failing, and you need assistance identifying the root cause.
  • You’re unsure which dependencies to include for a specific task in your Java project.
  • You want to automate parts of your Maven project setup or configuration.

Key capabilities

  • pom.xml generation
  • Build error troubleshooting
  • Dependency suggestion
  • Maven project understanding

Example prompts

  • "Generate a pom.xml file for a Java Spring Boot application with REST endpoints."
  • "My Maven build is failing with a 'Could not resolve dependencies' error; can you help me troubleshoot?"
  • "I need to add logging to my Java project using Log4j2, what are the necessary Maven dependencies?"

Tips & gotchas

The agent’s effectiveness depends on providing clear and specific information about your project or build issues. A basic understanding of Maven terminology is helpful for interpreting the agent's responses.
