Install target

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 sergiodxa/agent-skills at 40e21b4618.

    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 equips AI agents with the knowledge of Ruby on Rails conventions to generate, refactor, and debug code that aligns with community standards. It ensures applications are maintainable, secure, and scalable by adhering to established architectural patterns specific to the framework.

When to use it

  • Generating new controllers or models that follow RESTful routing and naming conventions automatically.
  • Refactoring legacy Rails codebases to reduce technical debt and improve readability.
  • Debugging complex application errors by applying standard troubleshooting methodologies for Ruby on Rails.
  • Creating database migrations and serializers that integrate seamlessly with existing Active Record schemas.

Key capabilities

  • Adherence to Ruby on Rails architectural patterns and design principles.
  • Generation of idiomatic code compatible with the latest framework versions.
  • Implementation of security best practices specific to Rails applications.
  • Optimization of performance through standard caching and database query strategies.

Example prompts

  • "Create a new API controller for user authentication that follows Rails RESTful conventions."
  • "Refactor this legacy Rails model to use Active Record scopes and validations properly."
  • "Debug this error in my Rails application by suggesting fixes based on best practices."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has access to the specific version of Ruby on Rails you are using, as conventions can shift between major releases. Always verify generated code against your project's existing style guide before committing changes to production environments.
