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 microsoft/agent-framework at 7634356a1d.

    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 analyzes Python code and provides feedback on its quality, adhering to established style guides like PEP 8. It identifies potential errors, suggests improvements for readability, and helps ensure consistent formatting across projects. The tool aims to improve maintainability and reduce bugs by enforcing best practices in the codebase.

When to use it

  • Code Review Automation: Integrate into a CI/CD pipeline to automatically check code quality before merging changes.
  • New Project Setup: Enforce coding standards from the beginning of a project to establish a consistent style.
  • Refactoring Legacy Code: Improve the readability and maintainability of existing Python codebases.
  • Team Collaboration: Ensure all team members follow the same coding conventions, reducing conflicts and improving collaboration.

Key capabilities

  • PEP 8 compliance checking
  • Error detection
  • Code style suggestions
  • Readability improvements

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this Python code for PEP 8 violations: [code snippet]"
  • "Suggest improvements to the readability of this function: [function definition]"
  • "Check this file for potential errors and stylistic issues: [filename]"

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill requires a valid Python environment to operate. Ensure that necessary dependencies are installed before use.
