Automated safety checks

scanned 19 Oct 2026

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

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 react-best-practices skill equips AI agents with the knowledge to generate clean, maintainable React code. It ensures outputs adhere to modern standards like functional components and hooks while avoiding common anti-patterns.

When to use it

Refactoring legacy class-based components into modern functional equivalents.
Generating new UI features that strictly follow current React ecosystem conventions.
Debugging complex state management issues involving useEffect or context.
Creating reusable custom hooks for shared logic across an application.

Key capabilities

Enforces the use of functional components and JSX over class-based syntax.
Promotes proper usage of React Hooks (useState, useEffect, etc.) for state handling.
Encourages component composition and prop drilling minimization.
Avoids deprecated patterns like this.state or inline style objects where CSS modules are preferred.

Example prompts

"Create a reusable user profile card component using modern React hooks."
"Refactor this class-based TodoList into a functional component with proper state management."
"Explain the best practices for managing side effects in a React useEffect hook."

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes the AI agent already understands basic JavaScript syntax; it focuses specifically on React architecture. For projects using specific libraries like Redux or Next.js, combine this with specialized skills for those ecosystems to ensure full compatibility.
