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 redpanda-data/console at 0d2c900a21.

    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 make API calls using Connect Query and properly handle responses within workflows. It provides hooks for fetching data, invalidating caches after mutations, and displaying error notifications (using formatToastErrorMessage). The skill also includes generated protobuf files for defining data structures, which should not be edited directly.

When to use it

  • When your agent needs to retrieve data from an API endpoint.
  • After a mutation (data update), when you need to invalidate cached data.
  • To gracefully handle and display errors that occur during API calls.
  • When working with protobuf definitions for structured data.

Key capabilities

  • Connect Query hooks for fetching data.
  • Cache invalidation after mutations.
  • Error handling with toast notifications (using formatToastErrorMessage).
  • Protobuf file generation and management (with a rule to regenerate: task proto:generate).

Example prompts

  • "Fetch the latest data using the Connect Query hook."
  • "Invalidate the cache after this mutation is complete."
  • "Display an error notification if the API call fails."

Tips & gotchas

  • The generated protobuf files in /src/protogen/ should not be edited directly. Use the task proto:generate rule to regenerate them.
  • Refer to the rules located in the /rules/ directory for detailed guidance on queries, mutations, cache invalidation and error handling.
  • This skill focuses specifically on API call management using Connect Query; it does not cover all aspects of data processing or general development tasks.
