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 mohitmishra786/low-level-dev-skills at bdc58472fa.

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

About this skill

What it does

The zig-cinterop skill enables AI agents to interact with and utilize C libraries within Zig projects. It facilitates the creation of Zig bindings for existing C APIs, allowing developers to leverage established C codebases from within their Zig applications. This includes generating Zig code that can call functions, access structures, and manage memory in C libraries.

When to use it

  • Integrating with legacy systems: You need to interface a new Zig application with an older C library or system.
  • Wrapping existing C APIs: You want to provide a more idiomatic Zig interface for a C API, improving usability and safety.
  • Porting C codebases incrementally: You're gradually migrating a large C project to Zig and need to bridge the gap between the two languages.
  • Utilizing specialized C libraries: A specific C library offers functionality not readily available in Zig or other alternatives.

Key capabilities

  • Generation of Zig bindings from C header files.
  • Automatic type mapping between C and Zig types.
  • Support for calling C functions from Zig code.
  • Memory management across the C/Zig boundary.

Example prompts

  • "Generate Zig bindings for libpng."
  • "Create a Zig wrapper around the SDL2 library's video rendering functions."
  • “I have this C header file; can you create Zig code to call its functions?”

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires familiarity with both Zig and C programming concepts.
  • The accuracy of generated bindings depends heavily on the clarity and correctness of the C header files.
