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 debugging capabilities for Nginx C modules. It allows developers to inspect and troubleshoot issues within custom Nginx modules written in C, facilitating more effective module development and maintenance. The skill enables detailed examination of module behavior during runtime.
When to use it
- Debugging Custom Modules: When developing or maintaining Nginx modules written in C and encountering unexpected behavior.
- Performance Analysis: To identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies within a custom Nginx module.
- Troubleshooting Configuration Issues: When suspecting issues related to how a C module interacts with the core Nginx configuration.
- Root Cause Analysis: When investigating crashes or errors specifically linked to a custom Nginx C module.
Key capabilities
- Debugging of Nginx C modules
- Runtime inspection of module behavior
- Performance profiling for custom modules
Example prompts
- "Debug my Nginx module and report any errors."
- "Profile the performance of this specific Nginx C module function."
- "Show me the current state of variables within my Nginx module during request processing."
Tips & gotchas
This skill requires a working Nginx installation with the target C module compiled and loaded. Successful debugging relies on having appropriate debug symbols available for the module being investigated.
