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 copyleftdev/sk1llz at 92361f525f.

    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 enforces coding style guidelines based on Bjarne Stroustrup's recommendations for C++. It ensures consistent formatting, naming conventions, and code structure to improve readability and maintainability. The skill promotes adherence to best practices in modern C++ development.

When to use it

  • Code Reviews: Automatically check C++ code submissions against the Stroustrup style guide during pull requests or automated reviews.
  • Educational Purposes: Help students learn and apply proper coding conventions when learning C++.
  • Team Standardization: Enforce a consistent coding style across a development team working on C++ projects.
  • Legacy Code Refactoring: Guide the refactoring of older C++ codebases to align with modern best practices.

Key capabilities

  • Enforces Stroustrup's naming conventions.
  • Ensures consistent formatting (indentation, spacing).
  • Promotes adherence to modern C++ coding practices.

Example prompts

  • "Check this C++ code for style violations according to the Stroustrup guidelines."
  • "Refactor this function to conform to the Stroustrup C++ style guide."
  • "Explain why this line of code is not compliant with the Stroustrup coding standards."

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires a working environment capable of parsing and analyzing C++ source code. It's most effective when integrated into an automated build or review pipeline to provide consistent feedback.
