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 equips Laravel applications with robust HTTP client resilience, automatically handling transient failures like timeouts or rate limits. It ensures reliable data fetching by implementing retry logic and exponential backoff strategies without manual intervention.
When to use it
- Integrating third-party APIs that are prone to temporary outages or high traffic spikes.
- Building background jobs where a single failed request shouldn't halt the entire process.
- Creating dashboards that require consistent data refreshes despite network instability.
- Managing external services with strict rate limiting requirements to avoid bans.
Key capabilities
- Automatic retry mechanisms for failed HTTP requests.
- Exponential backoff to respect server recovery times.
- Configuration of custom timeout durations and maximum retry attempts.
- Centralized error handling for transient network issues.
Example prompts
- "Configure the Laravel HTTP client to retry failed API calls three times with exponential backoff before logging an error."
- "Set up a resilient fetcher that handles 503 Service Unavailable responses by waiting 2 seconds, then 4 seconds, before giving up."
- "Create a script using this skill to poll an external status endpoint every minute, ensuring it survives temporary network blips."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure you define clear maximum retry limits to prevent infinite loops during persistent outages. Always log failed attempts after the final retry to aid in debugging and monitoring system health.
