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 arustydev/ai at 70b280c5bc.

    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.

It focuses on creating user-friendly instructions by prioritizing clarity and precision over overly verbose language. The output will be structured logically with appropriate formatting for readability.

When to use it

  • Generating API documentation from code comments or specifications.
  • Creating step-by-step guides for software installation or configuration.
  • Drafting internal knowledge base articles explaining technical processes.
  • Producing user manuals for hardware devices, ensuring ease of understanding.

Key capabilities

  • Clear and concise language
  • Technically accurate descriptions
  • Logical structuring of information
  • Appropriate formatting (e.g., headings, lists)

Example prompts

  • "Write a technical guide on how to set up a VPN connection."
  • "Generate API documentation for the 'createUser' endpoint."
  • "Explain the process of deploying a Docker container in simple terms."

Tips & gotchas

The skill performs best when provided with sufficient context or source material. It is designed for technical content and may not be suitable for creative writing tasks.
