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 oakoss/agent-skills at 85e3a3919d.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides React components and utilities to handle errors gracefully within a user interface. It allows developers to display informative error messages to users, prevent application crashes due to unexpected issues, and potentially provide recovery options. The goal is to improve the overall user experience by making errors less frustrating and more manageable.

When to use it

  • Displaying API request failures: When fetching data from an external API fails, this skill can display a friendly error message instead of a cryptic console log.
  • Handling form validation errors: Provide clear feedback to users when they enter invalid data into forms.
  • Catching unexpected component errors: Prevent entire pages from crashing due to unhandled exceptions within React components.
  • Providing user recovery options: Offer suggestions or links for users to retry actions or contact support after an error occurs.

Key capabilities

  • React Error Boundary Components
  • Customizable Error Message Display
  • Error Logging and Reporting (implied)
  • User-Friendly Error Presentation

Example prompts

  • "Implement a React component that catches errors in the fetchData function and displays 'Failed to load data' if it fails."
  • "Create an error boundary for my login form that shows a user-friendly message when authentication fails."
  • “Wrap this component with an Error Boundary and display a generic error message if anything goes wrong.”

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill requires basic familiarity with React concepts, including components and prop drilling.
  • Error boundaries will catch errors within their child components; errors outside of the boundary (e.g., in top-level application code) won't be handled by this skill.
