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 spences10/claude-code-toolkit at 2c9542cd1a.

    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 optimizes terminal commands for efficiency and clarity. It can reformat complex commands into more readable structures, suggest alternative approaches to achieve the same result with fewer steps, and identify potential performance bottlenecks within existing terminal workflows. The goal is to streamline command-line operations and improve overall productivity.

When to use it

  • You have a long or complicated terminal command that's difficult to understand.
  • You want to automate a series of terminal commands into a more efficient script.
  • A shell script you are using is slow, and you suspect there may be ways to improve its performance.
  • You need help understanding the best way to accomplish a task within a Linux or macOS environment.

Key capabilities

  • Command reformatting for readability
  • Suggestion of alternative command sequences
  • Performance bottleneck identification in scripts
  • Linux and macOS terminal optimization

Example prompts

  • "Can you optimize this shell script: [script content]?"
  • "How can I achieve [task] using fewer commands in the terminal?"
  • "Please reformat this command for better readability: long_and_complex_command"

Tips & gotchas

The skill is best suited for Linux and macOS environments. It may not be effective with Windows-specific terminal commands or syntax.
