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 jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills at a7be181f58.

    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 allows AI agents to monitor APIs, checking their status and alerting you to potential issues. It can verify API response codes, latency, and even payload contents against expected values. This proactive approach helps ensure the reliability and performance of critical services that your applications depend on.

When to use it

  • Proactive Issue Detection: Schedule regular checks of key APIs to identify problems before users are impacted.
  • Incident Response: Quickly verify if an API is functioning correctly during a reported outage or incident.
  • Performance Monitoring: Track API latency over time to detect performance degradation and potential bottlenecks.
  • Integration Testing: Validate that new integrations with external APIs are working as expected.

Key capabilities

  • API status checks (response code verification)
  • Latency monitoring
  • Payload content validation

Example prompts

  • "Monitor the /users endpoint of https://api.example.com every 5 minutes and alert me if the response code is not 200."
  • "Check the latency of the payment API at https://payment-service.internal. Alert if it exceeds 500ms."
  • "Verify that the JSON payload from https://data-feed.example.com/products contains a field called 'price' with a numeric value."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires access to the API endpoints being monitored and appropriate authentication credentials if necessary.
  • Be mindful of rate limits when scheduling frequent checks; configure throttling as needed.
