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 dalehurley/phpbot at 6128f14773.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables an AI agent to identify and correct errors in its own reasoning process. It allows the agent to re-evaluate previous steps, recognize inconsistencies, and adjust its approach to arrive at a more accurate conclusion. The skill aims to improve the reliability and quality of the agent's outputs by incorporating self-reflection and iterative refinement.

When to use it

  • Complex problem solving: When tackling multi-step problems where errors can easily propagate.
  • Creative writing or brainstorming: To refine ideas and identify logical fallacies in generated content.
  • Code generation/debugging: To help the agent recognize and correct flaws in its own code.
  • Data analysis & interpretation: When needing to ensure accurate conclusions from potentially noisy datasets.

Key capabilities

  • Self-reflection on reasoning steps
  • Error identification within a chain of thought
  • Iterative refinement of solutions
  • Re-evaluation of assumptions

Example prompts

  • "Review your previous response and identify any logical flaws."
  • "Can you retrace your steps and explain where you might have gone wrong?"
  • "Analyze this reasoning process for inconsistencies and suggest improvements."

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of this skill depends on the agent's underlying reasoning abilities; it’s a refinement tool, not a replacement for sound logic. Expect that initial results may require careful prompt engineering to guide the self-correction process effectively.
