Install target

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 tree-nation/php-best-practices at 4cfcf3d47c.

    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 guidance and code examples for adhering to best practices in PHP development. It aims to improve code quality, maintainability, and security within PHP projects. The skill can analyze existing PHP code or generate new code snippets following established conventions.

When to use it

  • Code Review: Have the agent review a block of PHP code to identify potential improvements based on best practices.
  • New Feature Development: Generate boilerplate code for a new feature, ensuring adherence to coding standards from the start.
  • Refactoring Legacy Code: Assist in refactoring older PHP codebases to improve readability and reduce technical debt.
  • Learning & Education: Understand specific PHP best practices by asking the agent to explain them with examples.

Key capabilities

  • Code analysis for adherence to PHP best practices
  • Generation of PHP code snippets following established conventions
  • Explanation of common PHP coding standards
  • Identification of potential security vulnerabilities in PHP code

Example prompts

  • "Review this PHP function and suggest improvements: [code snippet]"
  • "Generate a PHP class for handling user authentication, adhering to best practices."
  • "Explain the PSR standard for autoloading in PHP."
  • “What are common PHP security vulnerabilities and how can I prevent them?”

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on providing clear and concise code snippets or specific questions. While it offers guidance, always review generated code carefully and adapt it to your project’s unique needs.
