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 ratacat/claude-skills at d4b471d05d.

    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

The kieran-python-reviewer skill analyzes Python code and provides feedback on style, potential errors, and adherence to best practices. It leverages static analysis tools to identify issues like PEP 8 violations, common bug patterns, and areas for improvement in code clarity and efficiency. The tool aims to help developers write cleaner, more maintainable, and less error-prone Python code.

When to use it

  • Code Review Assistance: Use this skill when you need a quick automated review of your Python code before submitting it for human review.
  • Learning Best Practices: New Python programmers can leverage the skill to understand and internalize coding style guidelines.
  • Automated CI/CD Pipelines: Integrate this skill into continuous integration pipelines to enforce code quality standards automatically.
  • Refactoring Existing Codebases: Apply it to older, less-structured Python projects to identify areas for improvement and modernization.

Key capabilities

  • PEP 8 style guide checking
  • Static analysis of Python code
  • Identification of potential errors and bugs
  • Code clarity and efficiency suggestions

Example prompts

  • "Review this Python script: [paste code here]"
  • "Analyze the following code for PEP 8 compliance: [paste code here]"
  • "Can you find any potential errors in this function? [paste code here]"

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on providing well-formatted and complete Python code. While it can catch many common issues, it is not a substitute for thorough human review and testing.
