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 hoangnguyen0403/agent-skills-standard at f640dae0cb.

    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 detailed explanations and guidance on Swift memory management techniques. It covers topics like Automatic Reference Counting (ARC), strong/weak/unowned references, and memory leaks in Swift applications. The goal is to help developers write more efficient and stable code by understanding how memory is handled.

When to use it

  • Debugging Memory Leaks: When your app exhibits unexpected behavior or crashes related to memory usage, this skill can assist in identifying the root cause.
  • Optimizing App Performance: Understanding ARC and reference cycles allows for optimization of app startup time and overall resource consumption.
  • Learning Swift Best Practices: For developers new to Swift or those seeking a refresher on best practices for memory management.
  • Understanding Complex Data Structures: When working with complex data structures like closures and delegates, this skill helps ensure proper memory handling to avoid issues.

Key capabilities

  • Explains Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) in Swift.
  • Describes the use of strong, weak, and unowned references.
  • Provides guidance on identifying and resolving reference cycles.
  • Offers insights into common memory management pitfalls.

Example prompts

  • "Explain how ARC works in Swift."
  • "What's the difference between a weak and an unowned reference?"
  • "How can I detect a memory leak in my iOS app?"

Tips & gotchas

The skill assumes basic familiarity with Swift programming concepts. Understanding object lifetimes is helpful for effectively utilizing this skill’s guidance.
