Automated safety checks
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.

About this skill
What it does
This skill allows AI agents to generate and understand Kotlin sum types, also known as sealed classes. It can create data structures that represent a fixed set of possibilities, ensuring type safety and simplifying logic around handling different states or outcomes. The agent will produce valid Kotlin code implementing these sum types based on provided descriptions.
When to use it
- Representing application state: Define the possible states of a UI element (e.g.,
Loading,Success,Error). - Handling API responses: Model different response scenarios from an external API call (e.g.,
ValidData,NotFound,ServerError). - Creating command patterns: Represent various commands that can be executed in a system, each with its own specific data or behavior.
- Defining result types: Represent the outcome of a function which might succeed with a value or fail with an error.
Key capabilities
- Generates Kotlin sum type definitions (sealed classes).
- Understands natural language descriptions of sum types.
- Produces valid and compilable Kotlin code.
Example prompts
- "Create a Kotlin sum type representing the possible outcomes of a database query:
Success(data),NotFound, andError(message)." - "Generate a sealed class for UI states:
Loading,ContentLoaded(data),Empty." - “Define a sum type to represent different payment methods:
CreditCard(cardNumber),PayPal(email).”
Tips & gotchas
- The agent requires familiarity with Kotlin syntax and concepts. Providing context about the desired data structure's purpose will improve results.
