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 uniswap/uniswap-ai at bff480cf46.

    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 equips AI agents with foundational security principles specifically designed for Uniswap v4 smart contracts. It enables agents to identify potential vulnerabilities, validate contract logic against known attack vectors, and ensure compliance with established security best practices during development and auditing phases.

When to use it

  • Reviewing new pool initialization code before deployment to prevent reentrancy or overflow issues.
  • Validating custom hooks logic to ensure they do not expose private state or manipulate pricing mechanisms.
  • Auditing swap execution paths for potential front-running or sandwich attack vulnerabilities.
  • Generating security checklists for teams integrating complex v4 features like concentrated liquidity.

Key capabilities

  • Identification of common smart contract vulnerabilities in the Uniswap v4 architecture.
  • Validation of access control patterns and permissioning within hook implementations.
  • Analysis of economic incentives to detect potential exploit scenarios.
  • Alignment of code structures with industry-standard security guidelines for decentralized finance.

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this pool initializer function for any reentrancy risks or integer overflow vulnerabilities specific to Uniswap v4."
  • "Generate a security checklist for deploying a custom hook that manages liquidity adjustments."
  • "Review the swap execution logic to identify potential front-running opportunities and suggest mitigations."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have access to the full source code of the contract being analyzed, as this skill relies on inspecting implementation details rather than just bytecode. While it provides strong foundational checks, it should be used in conjunction with formal verification tools or professional audits for production-critical deployments.
