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 isyn/stdb-skills at 4d14115d60.

    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

This skill provides a curated set of guidelines and patterns for optimizing SpacetimeDB applications. It helps developers structure their code to leverage the database's real-time, row-level change propagation capabilities effectively.

When to use it

  • Building high-frequency trading bots or financial dashboards requiring sub-millisecond latency updates.
  • Developing IoT telemetry systems where devices push massive streams of sensor data continuously.
  • Creating collaborative multiplayer games that need instant state synchronization across clients.
  • Designing backend services for real-time chat applications or live notification feeds.

Key capabilities

  • Defines optimal schema design patterns for SpacetimeDB's row-based storage engine.
  • Outlines strategies for minimizing network overhead during high-volume data ingestion.
  • Provides best practices for querying and filtering large streams of changing data efficiently.
  • Details how to structure application logic to align with the database's event-driven architecture.

Example prompts

  • "How should I structure my schema in SpacetimeDB to handle millions of incoming IoT sensor readings per second?"
  • "What are the recommended patterns for querying real-time state changes without overwhelming the network?"
  • "Explain how to optimize a multiplayer game loop using SpacetimeDB's row-level change propagation."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your application logic is designed around event streams rather than traditional request-response cycles to fully benefit from this skill. Avoid complex joins on massive tables, as the database excels at streaming single-entity changes rather than aggregating unrelated data sets.
