Automated safety checks
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

About this skill
What it does
This skill, poletron-backend-patterns, provides a collection of pre-defined backend architectural patterns. It allows AI agents to leverage established solutions for common backend challenges, promoting code reusability and reducing development time. The skill aims to improve the structure and maintainability of backend systems by applying proven design approaches.
When to use it
- When designing a new REST API endpoint and needing guidance on data validation or error handling.
- During refactoring of an existing monolithic application into microservices.
- To standardize database access patterns across multiple projects within a team.
- When implementing asynchronous task processing, such as sending emails or generating reports.
Key capabilities
- Provides pre-defined backend architectural patterns.
- Promotes code reusability in backend development.
- Aids in structuring and maintaining backend systems.
- Offers solutions for common backend challenges.
Example prompts
- "Generate a REST API endpoint using the 'Repository Pattern'."
- "Implement asynchronous task processing with the 'Message Queue' pattern."
- "Show me an example of the 'Clean Architecture' applied to a user authentication service."
Tips & gotchas
The skill assumes a basic understanding of backend development principles and common architectural patterns. While it provides pre-defined solutions, adaptation and customization may be required based on specific project needs.
