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
prometheus-go-code-review
What it does
This skill enables AI agents to perform automated code reviews specifically for Go applications that interact with Prometheus. It analyzes source code to ensure metrics collection logic aligns with best practices and integrates correctly with the monitoring ecosystem.
When to use it
- Before merging changes to a Go service that exposes new metrics endpoints.
- When refactoring existing instrumentation to reduce cardinality or improve query performance.
- To validate that label usage in metric definitions adheres to Prometheus naming conventions.
- During CI/CD pipelines to catch instrumentation errors before they reach production.
Key capabilities
- Analyzes Go code for proper metric registration and labeling.
- Identifies potential issues with metric cardinality explosion.
- Checks alignment with Prometheus data model standards.
- Provides feedback on counter vs. gauge usage in Go implementations.
Example prompts
- "Review this Go file for Prometheus instrumentation errors and suggest fixes."
- "Analyze these metrics definitions for high cardinality risks and label best practices."
- "Check if this new endpoint correctly registers counters and follows Prometheus naming conventions."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your Go codebase includes the necessary Prometheus client libraries before running the review, as missing dependencies may lead to incomplete analysis. This skill focuses on code structure and metric definitions; it does not validate actual runtime behavior or scrape configurations.
