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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: github.com.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    github.comsource host

  • 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 whit3rabbit/claude-zig-skill at f1acbb5fd3.

    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 allows AI agents to understand and generate Zig programming language code. It can assist with tasks ranging from writing simple programs to debugging existing code, leveraging the efficiency and safety features of Zig. The agent can also explain Zig concepts and provide examples for learning purposes.

When to use it

  • Code Generation: Generate snippets or complete programs in Zig based on natural language descriptions.
  • Debugging Assistance: Provide existing Zig code to the agent and ask for help identifying and fixing errors.
  • Learning Zig: Request explanations of Zig syntax, concepts, or best practices.
  • Code Translation: Translate code from other languages (e.g., C, Python) into Zig.

Key capabilities

  • Zig programming language understanding
  • Code generation in Zig
  • Debugging assistance for Zig code
  • Explanation of Zig concepts and syntax

Example prompts

  • "Write a Zig program to calculate the factorial of a number."
  • "I have this Zig code: [paste code here]. Why isn't it compiling?"
  • "Explain how memory is managed in Zig."

Tips & gotchas

  • Zig is a relatively new language, so the agent’s knowledge may be limited to common patterns and libraries.
  • Be specific with your prompts; clearly define the desired functionality or problem you're trying to solve.
