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 lingzhi227/claude-skills at 9e6c085d65.

    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

This skill allows AI agents to format text using LaTeX. It can handle mathematical equations, symbols, and other elements requiring specialized typesetting. The agent will produce formatted output suitable for inclusion in documents or presentations where precise formatting is crucial.

When to use it

  • Generating complex mathematical expressions for a report.
  • Creating visually appealing tables with specific column alignments.
  • Formatting scientific notation or chemical formulas accurately.
  • Producing equations for educational materials or tutorials.

Key capabilities

  • LaTeX equation formatting
  • Symbol typesetting
  • Table generation
  • Scientific notation support

Example prompts

  • "Format the following equation: E=mc^2"
  • "Create a table showing the values of x, y, and z for x=1, y=2, z=3."
  • "Please format this chemical formula: H₂O"

Tips & gotchas

The agent requires LaTeX syntax to be provided correctly. Incorrect or incomplete LaTeX code will result in errors or unexpected formatting.
