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 nbbaier/agent-skills at ae2935692a.

    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 reusable React effect patterns to simplify common component lifecycle management tasks. It helps developers avoid repetitive code and ensures consistent behavior across components when dealing with side effects like data fetching, subscriptions, or DOM manipulations. The skill aims to encapsulate these patterns into easily installable and usable modules.

When to use it

  • Data Fetching: Implement a standardized pattern for fetching data on component mount and cleaning up resources on unmount.
  • Subscription Management: Manage subscriptions (e.g., websockets, event listeners) in a predictable way, ensuring proper cleanup.
  • DOM Manipulation: Encapsulate custom DOM manipulation logic within reusable effect patterns.
  • Component Lifecycle Synchronization: Ensure consistent behavior across multiple components that require similar lifecycle actions.

Key capabilities

  • Reusable Effect Patterns: Pre-built modules for common React effect scenarios.
  • Lifecycle Management: Handles component mounting and unmounting consistently.
  • Resource Cleanup: Automatically cleans up resources (e.g., subscriptions, timers) when a component is unmounted.
  • Standardized Approach: Promotes consistent coding practices across projects.

Example prompts

  • "Show me the pattern for fetching data from an API on mount and cleaning up after."
  • "How can I use this skill to manage a websocket subscription?"
  • “Give me an example of using the effect patterns for DOM manipulation.”

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires basic familiarity with React's useEffect hook. While it simplifies common tasks, understanding the underlying concepts of component lifecycle and side effects is still beneficial for effective use.
