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 nweii/agent-stuff at 5854362cce.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

3 files, 567 lines
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 provides access to the useEffect hook in React. The useEffect hook lets you perform side effects in functional components, such as fetching data, directly updating the DOM, or setting up subscriptions. It helps manage these actions and synchronize them with component lifecycle events.

When to use it

  • Data Fetching: Retrieve data from an API when a component mounts and update the UI accordingly.
  • DOM Manipulation: Directly modify elements in the Document Object Model (DOM) based on component state or props.
  • Subscriptions Management: Set up subscriptions to external services, like websockets, and clean them up when the component unmounts.
  • Synchronizing with External Systems: Trigger actions in other systems based on changes within a React component's lifecycle.

Key capabilities

  • Provides access to the useEffect hook.
  • Allows for side effects execution after render.
  • Supports dependency arrays to control re-execution of effects.
  • Enables cleanup functions for managing resources.

Example prompts

  • "Use useEffect to fetch user data from /api/users when the component mounts."
  • "Implement a useEffect hook that updates the document title based on the current route."
  • “Create an effect to listen for window resize events and update a responsive layout.”

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires a React environment to function correctly. Ensure your AI agent has access to React components and rendering capabilities.
