Installs under a different name. Its SKILL.md names it Scala Functional Patterns, not the name it is listed under, so the command below uses that name.

Run this in your project

Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

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 28 Sept 2026

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 thebushidocollective/han at 19caa51d5f.
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 enables AI agents to understand and apply common functional programming patterns within Scala. It facilitates writing concise, declarative code using techniques like currying, partial application, and function composition. The agent can leverage these patterns for improved code readability, reusability, and testability in Scala projects.

When to use it

Refactoring imperative Scala code into a more functional style.
Generating boilerplate code that utilizes common functional idioms.
Explaining existing Scala code snippets that employ functional programming techniques.
Developing new Scala libraries or modules emphasizing immutability and pure functions.

Key capabilities

Currying
Partial Application
Function Composition

Example prompts

"Refactor this Scala function to use currying: [Scala function code]"
"Show me an example of function composition in Scala."
"Explain how partial application can be used to simplify this code: [Scala code snippet]"

Tips & gotchas

The agent’s effectiveness depends on the user providing clear and concise Scala code snippets. A basic understanding of functional programming concepts is helpful for interpreting the agent's output.
