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 allows AI agents to securely create and manage Next.js API routes. It handles authentication, authorization, and request validation, enabling the creation of robust backend functionality for Next.js applications without manual security implementation. The skill streamlines development by automating common secure coding practices.
When to use it
- Building a serverless backend: You need to create API endpoints in your Next.js application that handle user data or perform sensitive operations.
- Implementing authentication and authorization: You want to quickly add role-based access control or other security measures to your API routes.
- Automating request validation: You require a way to ensure incoming requests meet specific criteria before processing them, preventing potential vulnerabilities.
Key capabilities
- Authentication implementation
- Authorization handling (role-based access)
- Request validation
Example prompts
- "Create an API route
/api/datathat requires authentication and only allows users with the 'admin' role to access it." - "Generate a Next.js API route for user registration, including email verification and password hashing."
- “Build an endpoint
/api/productswhich validates the request body containsnameandpricefields.”
Tips & gotchas
This skill assumes you have a basic understanding of Next.js and API routes. Ensure your AI agent has access to your Next.js project's configuration files for optimal results.
