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 medusajs/medusa-claude-plugins at e9c28cc8ef.

    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

The building-with-medusa skill enables AI agents to interact with the Medusa Commerce platform using specialized plugins designed for Medusa.js. It allows agents to generate code, configure stores, and manage commerce logic by leveraging pre-built tools within the Medusa ecosystem.

When to use it

  • Automating the setup of new Medusa commerce projects or adding specific features like subscriptions.
  • Generating boilerplate code for custom modules that extend core Medusa functionality.
  • Debugging and fixing errors in existing Medusa store configurations or API integrations.
  • Creating scripts to manage product catalogs, inventory levels, or order processing workflows.

Key capabilities

  • Access to a suite of official plugins specifically tailored for the Medusa.js framework.
  • Ability to generate and execute commands related to project scaffolding and development.
  • Support for interacting with commerce primitives such as products, orders, and customers.
  • Integration with the Medusa CLI for streamlined development workflows.

Example prompts

  • "Use the building-with-medusa skill to create a new product type called 'Digital Download' in my store."
  • "Generate a custom module that adds a 'Buy Now' button to all products under $50."
  • "Write a script to sync inventory levels from an external API into my Medusa database."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your development environment has the latest versions of Node.js and the Medusa CLI installed before attempting complex configurations. This skill relies on the underlying Medusa plugins, so verify that your project dependencies are up to date to avoid compatibility issues with generated code.
