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
What it does
This skill provides expertise in Sass (specifically, the indented syntax) and CSS architecture for creating maintainable stylesheets. It guides you on writing clean, readable code using whitespace-sensitive indentation to define structure, leveraging Sass features for modularity, and prioritizing simplicity in your stylesheet organization. The skill also clarifies the differences between Sass (indented syntax) and SCSS.
When to use it
- You're starting a new project and want to establish best practices for your Sass/SCSS codebase.
- You’re refactoring existing stylesheets to improve readability and maintainability.
- You need help understanding the structure of a Sass project, including how to organize files into abstracts, base, components, layout, pages, themes, and vendors.
- You're unsure about proper naming conventions for variables or how to implement spacing scales and breakpoints in your stylesheets.
Key capabilities
- Expertise in Sass (indented syntax) and SCSS.
- Guidance on clean, readable Sass code using indentation.
- Recommendations for creating modular and DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) stylesheets.
- Advice on file organization within a Sass project (abstracts, base, components, etc.).
- Explanation of variable naming conventions and spacing scales.
Example prompts
- "Show me an example of how to organize a Sass project with abstracts, base, and components."
- "What's the difference between Sass and SCSS syntax?"
- "How should I name variables in my Sass file for colors?"
Tips & gotchas
- This skill focuses on the indented Sass syntax (.sass files), not the curly brace-based SCSS syntax.
- Pay close attention to indentation as it is critical for defining code structure in Sass.
- The provided project structure example is a guideline; adapt it to your specific needs.
