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 mindrally/skills at 7682ca7771.

    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 enables AI agents to generate, refactor, and maintain CSS-in-JS code using the styled-components library while adhering to industry-standard patterns. It ensures components remain modular, performant, and consistent with best practices for styling in React applications.

When to use it

  • Creating new functional React components that require scoped, dynamic styling without external CSS files.
  • Refactoring legacy inline styles or raw CSS into maintainable styled-components definitions.
  • Implementing theme-aware designs where styles need to change dynamically based on props or context.
  • Ensuring codebases follow specific guidelines for prop spreading, template literals, and class name generation.

Key capabilities

  • Generates valid styled-components syntax using tagged template literals.
  • Applies best practices for component composition and nested styling.
  • Enforces separation of concerns by avoiding style leakage between components.
  • Supports dynamic styling through prop-based interpolation within style tags.

Example prompts

  • "Create a responsive navigation bar using styled-components that includes hover states and mobile menu toggling."
  • "Refactor this inline-styled button into a reusable styled-component following best practices for accessibility and theming."
  • "Write a card component with dynamic border colors based on the status prop, ensuring no style conflicts with parent elements."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your project has styled-components installed before generating code to avoid runtime errors. Avoid overusing template literals for complex selectors; reserve them for simple property assignments and pseudo-classes to maintain readability.
