Automated safety checks
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.

About this skill
The reference-compiler-cli is a command-line interface provided by Angular that allows developers to compile and analyze code against the official Angular documentation. It serves as a tool to ensure project implementations align with best practices and framework standards directly from the terminal.
When to use it
- Validating new features or APIs used in your application against current Angular guidelines.
- Resolving ambiguity when multiple syntax options exist for a specific directive or component.
- Auditing legacy codebases to identify deprecated patterns before migration.
- Generating reference material for team documentation based on the latest framework releases.
Key capabilities
- Direct access to the official Angular compiler via CLI commands.
- Real-time validation of code snippets against framework standards.
- Integration with development workflows for automated consistency checks.
- Support for analyzing complex component hierarchies and data bindings.
Example prompts
- "Use
reference-compiler-clito check if my custom pipe implementation follows the latest Angular style guide." - "Compile this standalone component using the reference compiler to verify binding syntax correctness."
- "Run a diagnostic on my module configuration using the CLI to identify any deprecated imports."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your local environment matches the version of Angular specified in the official documentation, as discrepancies may lead to false validation errors. This tool is primarily designed for verification rather than full application building, so it works best when testing isolated code segments or specific features.
