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 angular/angular at 516170741d.

    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 foundational reference data related to the core architecture of the Angular framework. It details how Angular transforms templates into DOM updates (rendering), manages object creation and lifetime (dependency injection), synchronizes data with the view (change detection), and handles reactivity through signals and Zone.js integration. Understanding this information is crucial for developers working with or debugging Angular applications.

When to use it

  • When investigating performance issues related to rendering in Angular applications.
  • To understand how dependency injection works within an Angular application's module and component hierarchies.
  • For troubleshooting change detection behavior and identifying potential optimization opportunities.
  • When needing a detailed understanding of the instruction-based approach used by Render3.

Key capabilities

  • Rendering (Ivy/Render3): Explains how templates are transformed into DOM updates using instructions like ɵɵelementStart.
  • Dependency Injection (DI): Describes the hierarchical DI system, including Module Injectors and Node Injectors.
  • Change Detection: Details Angular's change detection strategies, including default dirty checking.
  • Reactivity: Mentions integration with Signals and Zone.js for reactive updates.
  • LView & TView: Explains the structure and relationship between Logical Views (LView) and Template Views (TView).

Example prompts

  • "Explain how Angular's Render3 engine transforms templates into DOM updates."
  • "Describe the role of a Node Injector in dependency injection within an Angular component."
  • "What is the difference between an LView and a TView?"

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill provides technical details about Angular’s internal workings. It's most useful for experienced developers or those deeply involved in debugging and optimizing Angular applications.
  • The source material focuses on architectural concepts; it does not provide guidance on how to use Angular, but rather how it functions internally.
