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 vangongwanxiaowan/screen-creative-skills at 6ced54f40c.

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

About this skill

What it does

The story-outline-evaluator skill assesses the quality of a given story outline. It provides feedback on aspects like plot coherence, character development potential, and overall narrative structure. The tool aims to help writers refine their outlines before committing to full manuscript creation, identifying areas for improvement and ensuring a stronger foundation for their stories.

When to use it

  • Early-stage writing: Evaluate a rough outline to identify major flaws or inconsistencies early on.
  • Brainstorming refinement: Get feedback on multiple outline variations to choose the strongest concept.
  • Writer's block mitigation: Gain fresh perspective and direction when struggling with plot development.
  • Collaborative writing: Share outlines with a team for collective assessment and improvement.

Key capabilities

  • Evaluates story outlines
  • Provides feedback on plot coherence
  • Assesses character development potential
  • Analyzes narrative structure

Example prompts

  • "Evaluate this outline: [paste outline here]"
  • "Can you assess the strengths and weaknesses of this story idea? [paste outline here]"
  • "Give me feedback on the pacing and plot progression in this outline. [paste outline here]"

Tips & gotchas

The quality of the evaluation depends heavily on the clarity and detail provided within the outline itself. Providing a well-structured and comprehensive outline will yield more useful and actionable feedback.
