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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • Declares what it does: failed

    No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.

    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 simhacker/moollm at 8f6d840b2f.

    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

The Scratchpad skill provides a temporary workspace for AI agents to store and manipulate data. It allows agents to perform calculations, generate intermediate results, or draft text that isn't directly part of the final output. This can improve reasoning accuracy and facilitate complex tasks by breaking them down into smaller steps.

When to use it

  • Complex Calculations: Use Scratchpad when an agent needs to perform multiple mathematical operations before arriving at a final answer.
  • Drafting & Iteration: When generating long-form content, the skill can be used for drafting sections and refining them iteratively.
  • Intermediate Reasoning Steps: Employ Scratchpad to show the steps of a logical argument or problem-solving process.
  • Data Transformation: Use it to reformat data before using it in another tool or prompt.

Key capabilities

  • Temporary Data Storage: Stores intermediate results and drafts.
  • Calculation Support: Performs mathematical operations within the scratchpad.
  • Text Manipulation: Allows for editing and refining text content.
  • Step-by-step Reasoning: Facilitates breaking down complex tasks into smaller, manageable steps.

Example prompts

  • "Calculate 123 * 456 and store the result in Scratchpad."
  • “Draft a short paragraph about the history of jazz music, then save it to Scratchpad for review.”
  • "Show me the steps you took to solve this equation, storing each step in Scratchpad."

Tips & gotchas

The Scratchpad is volatile; its contents are cleared after each interaction. Consider using other skills if persistent storage is required.
