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 artivilla/agents-config at 11c2e068c9.

    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.

  • Creating API Documentation: Generate clear and concise documentation for software APIs, ensuring consistent parameter descriptions and code examples.
  • Developing User Manuals: Produce user-friendly manuals that follow a defined style guide, improving readability and comprehension.
  • Maintaining Internal Knowledge Bases: Standardize the writing style within an internal knowledge base to ensure all content is easily understood by employees.
  • Generating Release Notes: Create release notes that adhere to specific formatting and tone guidelines for consistent communication with users.

Key capabilities

  • Style guide adherence
  • Terminology consistency
  • Formatting standardization
  • Tone adaptation

Example prompts

  • "Write a section on the 'Authentication' endpoint for our API, following the provided style guide."
