Install target

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 viktor-ferenczi/skills at 36a2adc6e1.

    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 provides adherence to Python style guidelines, specifically PEP 8. It helps ensure code is formatted consistently and readably. The skill can automatically check existing Python code or apply formatting during development.

When to use it

  • Code Review: Automatically format a codebase before submitting for review.
  • New Project Setup: Enforce consistent style from the beginning of a new project.
  • Automated Formatting: Integrate into CI/CD pipelines to automatically format code on every commit.
  • Educational Tool: Help developers learn and apply Python's coding standards.

Key capabilities

  • PEP 8 compliance checking
  • Automatic code formatting
  • Integration with development workflows

Example prompts

  • "Format this Python script according to PEP 8."
  • "Check this file for PEP 8 violations."
  • "Apply consistent style to the entire project directory."

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires a Python environment to be available. Ensure that necessary dependencies are installed before use, as it relies on external tools for code analysis and formatting.
