Automated safety checks

scanned 27 Sept 2026

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 nrwl/nx-ai-agents-config at aa363e4a85.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

Copies in repo: 3 — all of them scanned

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 nx-run-tasks skill enables AI agents to execute tasks within an Nx workspace, allowing them to run commands like building, testing, or linting projects. It provides a structured way for agents to interact with the Nx CLI and manage complex workflows in monorepo environments.

When to use it

Running build commands across multiple projects in an Nx workspace
Executing tests or linters as part of a CI/CD pipeline
Automating repetitive development tasks such as formatting or generating code

Key capabilities

Integration with Nx CLI for task execution
Support for running tasks in specific projects or workspaces
Ability to handle complex, multi-project workflows

Example prompts

"Run all tests in the apps/my-app project"
"Build the libs/shared-ui library and its dependencies"
"Execute linting across the entire workspace"

Tips & gotchas

Ensure Nx is properly installed and configured in your workspace before using this skill.
Task execution may require specific permissions or environment setup depending on the command being run.
