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 joellewis/finance_skills at 5c498eacf7.

    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

The next-best-action skill helps AI agents determine the most logical and effective subsequent step in a process. It analyzes current context, available options, and potential outcomes to suggest actions that move towards a desired goal. This allows for more dynamic and adaptive workflows compared to rigid sequences of instructions.

When to use it

  • Complex Workflows: When an AI agent needs to navigate a multi-step process with branching logic (e.g., loan application approval).
  • Dynamic Environments: Situations where the optimal next action depends on real-time data or changing conditions (e.g., adjusting investment strategy based on market news).
  • User Interaction: Guiding users through a series of tasks, adapting to their responses and preferences (e.g., onboarding new customers).
  • Troubleshooting: Identifying the best course of action when an error occurs or a process deviates from the expected path.

Key capabilities

  • Action prioritization
  • Contextual analysis
  • Outcome prediction
  • Workflow adaptation

Example prompts

  • "Given that the customer's credit score is 620 and their income is $45,000, what’s the next best action?"
  • “The system detected a fraudulent transaction. What should I do next?”
  • "Based on current market trends, what investment strategy should be pursued?"

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires access to relevant data and context about the process or situation at hand. Ensure the AI agent has sufficient information to make informed decisions regarding the next best action.
