Install target

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 davepoon/buildwithclaude at fc03a95b41.

    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 automates repetitive tasks and workflows. It can generate Makefile files based on project descriptions, streamlining build processes. The generated Makefiles include targets for common development activities like compiling code, running tests, and creating documentation.

When to use it

  • You have a software project with multiple source files that need to be compiled or processed.
  • You want to simplify the process of building and testing your project.
  • You're new to using Makefiles and want an easy way to get started.
  • You’re looking for a quick way to standardize build processes across projects.

Key capabilities

  • Generates Makefile files.
  • Includes targets for common development tasks (compiling, testing, documentation).
  • Automates build process creation based on project descriptions.

Example prompts

  • "Create a Makefile for a Python project with unit tests."
  • "Generate a Makefile for a C++ project that compiles and runs tests."
  • “I need a simple Makefile to compile my Go program.”

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires a clear description of the project's structure and dependencies. While it simplifies Makefile creation, understanding basic Makefile concepts will help you customize generated files for more complex projects.
