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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api-ssl.bitly.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.

  • 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 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 jamditis/claude-skills-journalism at 8a047d85f3.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to assist with building frontend user interfaces and experiences using a zero-build approach. It leverages patterns that allow for production-quality web applications without requiring traditional build tools, bundlers, or complex toolchains. The skill utilizes React via CDN (esm.sh) and incorporates techniques like htm to avoid JSX syntax, simplifying the development process.

When to use it

  • You want to quickly prototype a frontend UI without setting up a full development environment.
  • You need to create simple web applications where build tools would be overkill.
  • You're looking for a streamlined approach to React development that minimizes complexity.
  • You want to experiment with modern web technologies like ES modules and CDNs.

Key capabilities

  • React integration via CDN (esm.sh)
  • Use of htm for creating UI components without JSX
  • Basic HTML setup including Tailwind CSS and Google Fonts via CDN
  • Import mapping for React, react-dom, and htm libraries
  • Ability to load data from a JSON file using fetch

Example prompts

  • "Create a simple React component that displays a loading spinner."
  • "Generate the basic HTML structure for a zero-build React application with Tailwind CSS."
  • "Show me how to use htm to create a functional React component."

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill is best suited for smaller projects or prototypes. Complex applications might benefit from more robust build tools.
  • Ensure your environment supports ES modules and CDN usage.
  • The provided example uses archive-data.json - you may need to adapt the data loading logic if a different data source is needed.
