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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: refoundai.com.

    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.

    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 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

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows an AI agent to evaluate new technologies, providing assessments of their potential benefits and drawbacks. It can analyze technical documentation, research papers, and other sources to determine a technology's suitability for specific applications. The evaluation includes considering factors like cost-effectiveness, scalability, and integration challenges.

When to use it

  • Technology Selection: When deciding whether to adopt a new software library or platform for a project.
  • Research & Development: To quickly assess the viability of emerging technologies for potential R&D initiatives.
  • Competitive Analysis: Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of competitor's technology choices.
  • Strategic Planning: Informing long-term strategic decisions about technological investments.

Key capabilities

  • Technology assessment
  • Benefit/drawback analysis
  • Scalability evaluation
  • Cost-effectiveness consideration
  • Integration challenge identification

Example prompts

  • "Evaluate the potential of serverless computing for our e-commerce platform."
  • "Analyze the benefits and drawbacks of adopting Rust as a primary development language."
  • "Assess whether blockchain technology is suitable for supply chain management in our industry."

Tips & gotchas

The quality of the evaluation depends heavily on the completeness and accuracy of the provided source material. Providing links to relevant documentation or research papers will yield better results.
