Automated safety checks
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

- You need assistance understanding a stack trace or error message.
- You want suggestions for systematically isolating and resolving software issues.
- You are trying to diagnose performance bottlenecks within an application.
Key capabilities
- Root cause analysis of errors
- Explanation of stack traces
- Suggestion of potential fixes
- Systematic troubleshooting guidance
Example prompts
- "Explain this error message: 'TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined'"
- "I’m seeing a NullPointerException. Can you help me debug it?"
- "My application is running slowly. What debugging strategies can I use to identify the bottleneck?"
