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 autumnsgrove/groveengine at edebdc71a7.

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

About this skill

What it does

The Swan Design skill helps AI agents create technical specifications and documentation in a unique style inspired by nature. It guides the agent through a structured process – Vision, Sketch, Refine – to produce well-defined documents that blend technical precision with poetic descriptions, often incorporating ASCII art and diagrams. This is particularly useful for documenting Grove systems and transforming technical plans into accessible formats.

When to use it

  • When you need to "write a spec" or "create a specification."
  • To "document this feature" or "design this system."
  • Specifically, when creating technical specifications for Grove systems.
  • For adding ASCII art and diagrams to text-heavy documents.

Key capabilities

  • Structured Specification Creation: Guides the agent through phases of Vision, Sketch, and Refine.
  • Nature Metaphor Integration: Incorporates nature metaphors (Heartwood, Wisp, Patina) into specifications.
  • ASCII Art & Diagram Generation: Creates ASCII art headers and flow diagrams for visual clarity.
  • YAML Frontmatter Creation: Automatically generates the required YAML frontmatter for specifications.
  • Reference Material Loading: Provides access to templates and palettes for consistent formatting (spec-template.md, diagram-patterns.md, ears-format.md).

Example prompts

  • "Create a specification for the new backup system using the Patina metaphor."
  • "/swan-design document this feature with an ASCII art header."
  • “Write a spec for the authentication module and include a flow diagram.”

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill relies on specific reference files (spec-template.md, diagram-patterns.md, ears-format.md) to ensure consistent formatting and content. Ensure these are accessible to the agent.
  • Consider pairing this skill with "owl-archive" for refinement of voice and text within the generated specifications.
