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 ernesto27/skills at 4a0c1edf3b.

    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 project-estimator skill provides estimates for project costs and timelines. It can analyze a description of a project, identify required tasks, and generate an estimated budget including labor, materials, and other expenses. The tool aims to provide reasonably accurate initial projections for various projects.

When to use it

  • Initial Project Planning: Quickly get a rough estimate before committing resources or creating detailed plans.
  • Budgeting & Proposal Creation: Generate preliminary budgets for client proposals or internal project requests.
  • Feasibility Assessment: Determine if a project is financially viable based on estimated costs and potential return.
  • Resource Allocation: Estimate the time and personnel needed to allocate resources effectively.

Key capabilities

  • Cost estimation
  • Timeline prediction
  • Task identification
  • Budget generation (labor, materials)

Example prompts

  • "Estimate the cost of building a small e-commerce website."
  • "How long would it take and how much would it cost to paint a 1500 sq ft house?"
  • "Give me an estimate for developing a mobile app with user authentication and database integration."

Tips & gotchas

The accuracy of the estimates depends heavily on the detail provided in the project description. More specific information will yield more reliable results.
