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 xfstudio/skills at 1bf6044db2.

    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 guidelines and best practices for backend development. It aims to ensure code quality, maintainability, and adherence to established standards within a project. The skill can be used to generate boilerplate code, review existing codebases, or provide suggestions for improving architectural decisions.

When to use it

  • When starting a new backend project to establish coding conventions from the outset.
  • During code reviews to ensure consistency with established guidelines.
  • To refactor an existing codebase and improve its structure and maintainability.
  • When onboarding new developers to a team, providing them with clear development standards.

Key capabilities

  • Provides backend development best practices.
  • Offers guidance on code quality and maintainability.
  • Supports adherence to established coding standards.
  • Can generate boilerplate code.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a basic API endpoint for user authentication following the guidelines."
  • "Review this Python function and suggest improvements based on backend development best practices."
  • “What are some recommended architectural patterns for building a scalable microservice?”

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on having clearly defined backend development standards already in place. It is designed to enforce existing guidelines, not create them from scratch.
