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

About this skill
What it does
This skill provides Python code leveraging asynchronous programming patterns. It allows AI agents to write and execute non-blocking I/O operations, improving performance in scenarios involving network requests or other time-consuming tasks. The skill aims to simplify complex async workflows by offering reusable components and best practices.
When to use it
- Network Requests: When an agent needs to fetch data from multiple APIs concurrently without blocking the main thread.
- Data Processing Pipelines: To build efficient pipelines where each stage involves asynchronous operations, such as image processing or text analysis.
- Real-time Applications: For applications requiring responsiveness and handling many concurrent connections (e.g., a chat server).
- Web Scraping: To scrape websites more quickly by making multiple requests in parallel.
Key capabilities
- Asynchronous function definitions (
async def) awaitkeyword for non-blocking operations- Event loops and coroutines
- Reusable asynchronous components
Example prompts
- "Write a Python script to fetch the top 10 news articles from different sources concurrently."
- "Create an async function that reads data from a queue and processes it in parallel."
- “Generate code for an asynchronous web server handling multiple client connections.”
Tips & gotchas
- Requires a basic understanding of Python programming.
- Be mindful of potential race conditions when dealing with shared resources in asynchronous environments.
