Automated safety checks
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

About this skill
What it does
This skill validates strings against specified formats, ensuring they adhere to defined patterns. It can check for things like valid email addresses, phone numbers conforming to a particular structure, or dates in a specific format. The skill provides a reliable way to confirm data integrity and prevent errors caused by incorrectly formatted input.
When to use it
- Data Entry Validation: Ensure user-provided information (like addresses or credit card details) is correctly formatted before processing.
- API Input Sanitization: Validate incoming data from external APIs to prevent malformed requests.
- Report Generation: Guarantee that dates and other key fields in generated reports are consistently formatted.
- Configuration File Parsing: Verify the structure of configuration files, preventing parsing errors due to incorrect formatting.
Key capabilities
- Format validation
- String pattern matching
- Data integrity checks
Example prompts
- "Validate if '[email protected]' is a valid email address."
- "Check if '123-456-7890' matches the US phone number format."
- "Is '2023-12-25' a valid date in YYYY-MM-DD format?"
Tips & gotchas
The skill requires you to provide the expected string format for validation. Incorrectly defined formats will lead to inaccurate results, so ensure the patterns are precise and well-defined.
