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 davepoon/buildwithclaude at fc03a95b41.

    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

The server-actions skill enables AI agents to execute backend operations directly, bridging the gap between user intent and server-side logic without requiring manual API calls. It allows agents to trigger functions that modify data, update databases, or interact with external services securely within the application context.

When to use it

  • Automating complex workflows that require database updates or state changes.
  • Triggering backend processes like file uploads, email sending, or report generation.
  • Managing user-specific data modifications such as profile updates or order processing.
  • Executing server-side validations before proceeding with critical application actions.

Key capabilities

  • Direct invocation of server-side functions from the client interface.
  • Secure handling of sensitive operations without exposing backend logic to the browser.
  • Asynchronous execution support for long-running tasks.
  • Integration with existing backend frameworks and database schemas.

Example prompts

  • "Please update my profile picture using the file I just uploaded."
  • "Submit the new product details I provided earlier to the inventory system."
  • "Generate a monthly sales report and email it to the team leads."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your backend functions are properly secured with authentication checks, as server actions can perform sensitive operations. Test error handling thoroughly, as failed server-side executions may not provide immediate visual feedback to the user without proper UI integration.
