Overview

Broken Frontmatter Skill

This skill has valid content but its YAML frontmatter cannot be parsed.

Setup

Use the CLI to install dependencies. Always validate your configuration.

npm install express

from flask import Flask

Step 1: Configure
Step 2: Deploy
Step 3: Verify

You must ensure all tests pass. Never skip the validation step. Consider using a .env file for local development.

Review the source

Skill source recorded

Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install

License: MIT

Dependency or permission surface needs review
Permission surface may require sandboxing
Quality score needs review
Permission surface needs review: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution
Stars/forks activity: 237 stars, 30 forks; issue activity unavailable in current metadata
Dependency/runtime risk: command execution surface, credential or environment access
Permission surface: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution

Open full audit

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
