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 pproenca/dot-skills at cf93c57cac.

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

About this skill

What it does

The restful-hateoas skill enables AI agents to interact with RESTful APIs that utilize HATEOAS principles, allowing for hypermedia-driven navigation of resources. It facilitates dynamic discovery of available actions and related data points directly within API responses without requiring hardcoded endpoints.

When to use it

  • Building autonomous agents that must traverse complex, nested API structures dynamically.
  • Integrating with legacy or modern REST services where relationships between resources are exposed via hyperlinks.
  • Creating self-documenting workflows where the agent learns available operations from response metadata rather than static schemas.
  • Developing flexible integrations where API versions change frequently but HATEOAS links remain consistent.

Key capabilities

  • Parses hypermedia controls embedded in JSON or XML responses.
  • Extracts actionable links (e.g., GET, POST, DELETE) from resource representations.
  • Navigates related resources by following embedded URLs without prior knowledge of the full API topology.
  • Handles dynamic discovery of new endpoints based on current state.

Example prompts

  • "Follow the HATEOAS links in this user profile response to find and update their address."
  • "Discover all available actions for a specific order ID by analyzing the embedded hypermedia controls."
  • "Navigate from the product listing to related inventory details using only the provided API responses."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the target API strictly adheres to HATEOAS standards, as the skill relies on consistent link structures within responses. If an API returns data without embedded links or uses non-standard formats, this skill may fail to navigate beyond the initial endpoint.
