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 neversight/skills_feed at 58220bbac4.

    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 helps AI agents write Python code that adheres to established best practices. It focuses on producing readable, maintainable, and efficient code through automated suggestions and corrections. The agent can review existing code or generate new code snippets following these guidelines.

When to use it

  • Code Review: You have a block of Python code you want reviewed for style and potential improvements.
  • New Code Generation: You need an AI agent to write a small Python function or script from scratch, ensuring good coding standards.
  • Refactoring Existing Code: You're working with legacy Python code that needs to be cleaned up and modernized.
  • Learning Best Practices: You want the agent to demonstrate how to write Python code according to accepted conventions.

Key capabilities

  • Automated style checks
  • Code formatting suggestions
  • Efficiency improvements
  • Adherence to established coding standards

Example prompts

  • "Review this Python function for best practices: [code snippet]"
  • "Write a Python function to calculate the factorial of a number, following PEP 8 guidelines."
  • "Refactor this code to improve readability and efficiency: [code snippet]"

Tips & gotchas

The skill assumes basic familiarity with Python syntax. While it can suggest improvements, understanding why those changes are beneficial is crucial for effective use and learning.
