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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: www.apachefriends.org.

    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.

  • 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 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 practicalswan/agent-skills at ff6d12f61e.

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

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to generate, understand, and modify PHP code. It can assist with tasks ranging from creating simple scripts to debugging existing applications. The agent can also provide explanations of PHP syntax and concepts.

When to use it

  • Automated Script Generation: Quickly create basic PHP scripts for common web development tasks like form handling or database interaction.
  • Code Debugging Assistance: Get help identifying and fixing errors in existing PHP codebases.
  • PHP Code Explanation: Request explanations of specific PHP functions, classes, or syntax to improve understanding.
  • Refactoring Existing Code: Have the agent suggest improvements or refactorings for legacy PHP projects.

Key capabilities

  • Code generation
  • Code debugging
  • Code explanation
  • Syntax assistance

Example prompts

  • "Write a PHP script to connect to a MySQL database and retrieve all records from a table called 'users'."
  • "Explain the purpose of the isset() function in PHP."
  • "I'm getting an error: 'Undefined variable: name'. What could be causing this?"

Tips & gotchas

The agent’s effectiveness depends on providing clear and specific instructions. While it can handle a wide range of PHP tasks, complex projects may require more detailed guidance or iterative refinement of the generated code.
