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

    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 kentoshimizu/sw-agent-skills at 5b7bafb626.

    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 guidance and enforces a consistent style for Zsh configuration files. It helps maintain readability, reduces errors, and ensures that customizations are applied correctly within a Zsh environment. The skill aims to improve the overall quality and manageability of shell scripts and configurations.

When to use it

  • New Zsh users: To learn best practices and avoid common pitfalls when customizing their shell.
  • Team environments: Enforcing consistent styling across multiple developers' Zsh configurations.
  • Large projects: Maintaining a clean and organized shell environment for complex workflows.
  • Automated configuration: Integrating style checks into CI/CD pipelines to ensure quality.

Key capabilities

  • Style checking of Zsh configuration files.
  • Enforcement of consistent formatting rules.
  • Guidance on best practices for Zsh customization.

Example prompts

  • "Check my .zshrc file for style errors."
  • "Apply the recommended zsh styling to this snippet: alias ls='ls -l'"
  • "Explain why this line in my .zshrc is not following best practices."

Tips & gotchas

The skill assumes you have Zsh installed and are working with Zsh configuration files (e.g., .zshrc, .zprofile). While the skill provides guidance, it doesn't automatically modify your files; you’ll need to apply the suggestions manually or through scripting.
