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 paramchoudhary/resumeskills at 74ae19e7c6.

    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 allows AI agents to dynamically generate and manage reference lists for resumes, CVs, or bibliographies. It processes raw input data to format entries consistently, ensuring professional presentation across different document types.

When to use it

  • Automating the creation of bibliography sections in research papers or academic reports.
  • Formatting candidate contact details and work history into a standardized resume layout.
  • Generating citation lists for legal documents or technical specifications requiring specific referencing styles.
  • Converting unstructured text notes into a clean, ordered list of references for quick review.

Key capabilities

  • Dynamic generation of reference entries based on provided input data.
  • Support for multiple document types including resumes, CVs, and bibliographies.
  • Consistent formatting to ensure professional output quality.
  • Efficient processing of raw lists into structured, readable formats.

Example prompts

  • "Convert this unstructured list of my past employers into a formatted resume reference section."
  • "Generate a bibliography for my research paper using the provided source titles and authors."
  • "Create a clean, ordered reference list from these scattered contact details for my networking deck."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure all input data includes necessary fields like names, dates, or titles to avoid incomplete entries. While this skill formats lists effectively, it may require additional context-specific instructions if you need a particular citation style (e.g., APA vs. MLA) not covered by default formatting.
