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 jwiegley/claude-prompts at eaf24a7808.

    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 node-red skill allows AI agents to connect and orchestrate various services and APIs. It provides a visual flow-based programming environment, enabling the creation of automated workflows that integrate with external systems like databases, IoT devices, and web applications. This facilitates complex task automation and data processing beyond simple text generation.

When to use it

  • Automating Home Automation: Integrate smart home devices (lights, thermostats) into a workflow triggered by specific events or conditions.
  • Data Integration: Combine data from multiple sources (e.g., weather API, stock market feed, social media) and process it for analysis or reporting.
  • IoT Device Management: Control and monitor IoT devices, such as sensors and actuators, based on predefined rules and schedules.
  • API Orchestration: Chain together calls to different APIs to perform complex operations that require multiple services.

Key capabilities

  • Visual flow-based programming
  • Integration with various external systems
  • Automated workflow creation
  • Data processing and transformation
  • IoT device control

Example prompts

  • "Create a Node-RED flow that sends an email when the temperature exceeds 25 degrees Celsius."
  • "Build a Node-RED automation to post updates to Twitter based on data from a CSV file."
  • "Can you design a Node-RED flow to connect to my MySQL database and retrieve the latest sales figures?"

Tips & gotchas

Requires familiarity with Node-RED's visual programming interface. The skill’s effectiveness depends on the availability of appropriate nodes for interacting with desired services and APIs.
