Install target

Live repository

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 shaul1991/shaul-agents-plugin at 9242c582cb.

    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 backend-reviewer skill analyzes backend code for potential issues. It identifies common errors, suggests improvements to code quality and security, and provides explanations for its findings. This helps developers improve their codebase without manual review.

When to use it

  • Code Review Assistance: Use this when you need a quick initial pass on your backend code before a full human review.
  • Identifying Potential Vulnerabilities: Employ the skill to scan for common security flaws in API endpoints or data processing logic.
  • Improving Code Quality: Leverage it to automatically identify areas where refactoring could improve readability and maintainability of existing backend systems.
  • Onboarding New Developers: Help new team members quickly understand codebases by having them use the reviewer to highlight potential issues.

Key capabilities

  • Code analysis for errors
  • Suggestions for improvements
  • Security vulnerability detection
  • Explanation of findings

Example prompts

  • "Review this Python backend code and identify any potential security vulnerabilities: [code snippet]"
  • "Analyze the following Go code for common coding errors and suggest improvements: [code snippet]"
  • "Can you review this Node.js API endpoint and let me know if there are any performance bottlenecks or areas for optimization? [code snippet]"

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on the quality of the provided code; ensure it is complete and representative of the system being reviewed. It’s a helpful tool, but not a replacement for thorough human review.
