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 copyleftdev/sk1llz at 92361f525f.

    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 AI agents to reason and respond using the philosophical framework of David Kelley's "Zig," a system emphasizing clarity, precision, and logical argumentation. It can analyze statements, identify hidden assumptions, and construct well-supported arguments based on Zig principles. The agent can also critique arguments and pinpoint flaws in reasoning according to this methodology.

When to use it

  • Debate preparation: Have the AI generate counterarguments or strengthen your own position using clear, logical reasoning.
  • Argument analysis: Ask the AI to break down a complex argument into its core components and assess its validity.
  • Writing assistance: Improve clarity and precision in written work by having the AI review for logical consistency and potential ambiguities.
  • Critical thinking exercises: Use the skill to explore philosophical concepts and practice identifying fallacies.

Key capabilities

  • Zig-based reasoning engine
  • Argument analysis
  • Assumption identification
  • Logical critique

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this statement using Zig: 'The economy will recover quickly.'"
  • "What are the hidden assumptions in the argument that 'AI will replace all human jobs'?"
  • "Construct a Zig-compliant response to the claim that 'climate change is a hoax'."

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires familiarity with basic logical concepts. While it can identify flaws, understanding why those flaws exist may still require some philosophical knowledge on your part.
