Install target

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 asyrafhussin/agent-skills at 1aa0ff717c.

    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 php-best-practices skill provides guidance on writing clean, efficient, and maintainable PHP code. It covers topics such as proper use of functions, object-oriented programming principles, security practices, and performance optimization techniques.

When to use it

  • You're developing a new PHP application and want to follow industry-standard coding conventions.
  • You need to refactor legacy PHP code to improve readability and scalability.
  • Your team is onboarding new developers who are unfamiliar with PHP best practices.
  • You're preparing for a code review and want to ensure your implementation aligns with established standards.

Key capabilities

  • Code structure and organization recommendations
  • Security practices like input validation and escaping output
  • Performance optimization tips, such as caching and reducing database queries
  • Object-oriented programming (OOP) guidelines
  • Error handling and logging best practices

Example prompts

  • "How can I improve the security of my PHP application?"
  • "What are the best practices for organizing a large PHP project?"
  • "Can you explain how to implement proper error handling in PHP?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your development environment supports modern PHP versions, as some best practices rely on newer language features.
  • Always validate and sanitize user input to prevent common vulnerabilities like SQL injection or XSS attacks.
