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 av/skills at 7fb0398999.

    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

This skill enables AI agents to build and deploy simple frontend user interfaces using Preact, a lightweight alternative to React. It allows for creating interactive web components without requiring a traditional build process or tooling like Webpack. The resulting UIs can be directly embedded into other applications or served as standalone pages.

When to use it

  • Rapid Prototyping: Quickly create and test UI ideas without the overhead of setting up a full development environment.
  • Simple Web Components: Build small, reusable components for embedding in larger projects where a complex build pipeline is undesirable.
  • Lightweight UIs: Ideal for scenarios where minimizing bundle size and improving performance are critical (e.g., embedded systems or low-bandwidth environments).
  • Educational Purposes: Demonstrate frontend development concepts without the complexity of build tools.

Key capabilities

  • Preact component creation
  • Buildless deployment
  • Interactive web components
  • Lightweight UI generation

Example prompts

  • "Create a simple counter component with buttons to increment and decrement."
  • "Generate a form with fields for name, email, and message."
  • "Show me how to display a list of items fetched from an API endpoint."

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill is best suited for relatively small and straightforward UIs. Complex applications may benefit from more robust build tools.
  • Familiarity with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript concepts will improve your ability to utilize this skill effectively.
