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 parcadei/continuous-claude-v3 at d07ff4b06b.

    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 prevents AI agents from repeatedly polling for updates or information. It allows the agent to react only when new data is available, reducing unnecessary API calls and improving efficiency. The skill integrates with Claude v3 specifically to avoid continuous polling loops during long-running tasks.

When to use it

  • When building an agent that interacts with external APIs or services where frequent checks are inefficient.
  • For agents performing long-running tasks like data analysis, content creation, or complex calculations where constant updates aren't needed.
  • To prevent rate limits and reduce costs associated with excessive API calls.
  • In scenarios involving Claude v3 to ensure efficient handling of extended conversations.

Key capabilities

  • Prevents polling loops in AI agents.
  • Specifically designed for integration with Claude v3.
  • Reduces unnecessary API calls.
  • Improves agent efficiency and reduces costs.

Example prompts

  • "Use this skill to monitor the status of my order, but only notify me when there's a change."
  • "Integrate no-polling-agents so that Claude doesn’t repeatedly check for updates during this data processing task."
  • "Make sure this agent reacts only when new information is available from the external service."

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires integration with an AI agent framework capable of managing and executing skills. Ensure your chosen framework supports skill invocation and parameter passing to leverage its full potential.
