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 softaworks/agent-toolkit at 3027f20f31.

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

About this skill

What it does

The react-useeffect skill enables AI agents to interact with and manipulate React components using the useEffect hook. This allows for dynamic updates, side effects management, and integration with external APIs or data sources in a React application.

When to use it

  • You need to perform data fetching or API calls after component rendering.
  • You want to manage subscriptions, timers, or other imperative operations in a functional React component.
  • You are handling cleanup tasks like removing event listeners or canceling network requests when a component unmounts.

Key capabilities

  • Executes side effects in React components using useEffect.
  • Supports dependency arrays for conditional re-rendering.
  • Facilitates clean-up logic with return statements inside useEffect.

Example prompts

  • "Use the useEffect hook to fetch data from an API when the component mounts."
  • "Set up a timer that updates the state every second using useEffect."
  • "Clean up event listeners when the component unmounts using useEffect."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your dependency arrays are correctly set to avoid unnecessary re-renders or missed updates.
  • Be cautious with infinite loops if dependencies are not managed properly.
