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 piotrski/agent-react-devtools at d25f34b568.

    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 inspect and debug React applications directly within the browser. It provides access to the React DevTools interface, allowing for real-time component tree analysis and prop/state inspection.

When to use it

  • Debugging complex state management issues in live production or staging environments.
  • Verifying that dynamic props are rendering correctly on specific UI components.
  • Tracing the hierarchy of nested components during development cycles.
  • Inspecting custom hooks execution and their internal states without code changes.

Key capabilities

  • Access to the React component tree view.
  • Real-time inspection of component props and state.
  • Integration with the browser's native DevTools ecosystem.
  • Support for analyzing complex UI structures dynamically.

Example prompts

  • "Inspect the current state of the UserDashboard component and list all active props."
  • "Debug why the sidebar navigation is not updating when I change the theme in the settings panel."
  • "Show me the full hierarchy of components rendering inside the main application container."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the target React application has the official react-devtools extension installed in the browser before attempting to use this skill. Performance may degrade slightly during heavy inspection on large-scale applications with thousands of nodes.
