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 alti3/litestar-skills at 877872dc15.

    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 enables Litestar applications to define and utilize custom data types, extending beyond standard Python types. It allows developers to create structured data representations for API requests and responses, improving code clarity and maintainability. The skill facilitates validation and serialization of these custom types within a Litestar application.

When to use it

  • Complex Data Structures: When your API needs to handle more complex data structures than simple strings or numbers.
  • Data Validation: To enforce specific rules and constraints on incoming request bodies or outgoing response payloads.
  • API Documentation: To clearly define the expected format of data exchanged with clients, improving API usability.
  • Code Organization: When you want to encapsulate related data fields into logical units for better code organization.

Key capabilities

  • Definition of custom data types within Litestar applications.
  • Validation of data against defined type schemas.
  • Serialization and deserialization of custom data types.
  • Integration with Litestar's API request/response pipelines.

Example prompts

  • "Create a custom data type called 'Product' with fields for name, price, and description."
  • "Validate the incoming JSON payload against my 'UserAddress' custom type."
  • "Generate OpenAPI documentation including my custom data types."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires familiarity with Litestar framework concepts.
  • Custom type definitions must be compatible with Litestar’s validation and serialization mechanisms.
