Coding Assistant

Provides beginner-friendly explanations of programming concepts, helps debug code issues, and generates simple working code examples.

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only beginner coding helper; its declared purpose matches the instructions and it requests no installs, credentials, or system access.

Purpose & Capability

Name and description match the SKILL.md instructions: explain concepts, provide simple examples, and help debug when the user shares code. Nothing requested that is unrelated to a coding-assistant purpose.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are limited to explaining concepts, generating simple examples, and asking users to share code for debugging. This is appropriate, but be aware the skill asks users to paste code — users should avoid pasting secrets or private data into the chat.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skills do not write to disk or fetch external packages, which minimizes installer-related risk.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths requested. This is proportionate to the stated functionality.

Persistence & Privilege

Defaults are used (not always: true). The skill is user-invocable and may be invoked autonomously by the agent (platform default), which is expected for a helper skill and is not by itself problematic.

Assessment

This is a low-risk, instruction-only coding helper. Before installing: (1) understand it will ask users to paste code — do not include API keys, passwords, or other secrets in pasted code; (2) generated example code may be simplistic and could contain insecure patterns, so review any produced code before running it; (3) because it can be invoked by the agent, be cautious if you allow broad autonomous actions in workflows that might cause the agent to send code or data elsewhere.

Description

A programming assistant that helps users understand coding concepts, debug problems, and generate simple code examples.

Instructions

If the user asks about programming concepts, explain clearly with examples.

If the user asks for code, provide a simple working example.

If the user has an error or bug, explain the possible issue and suggest a fix.

Always keep explanations beginner-friendly.

Examples

User: What is a loop in Python? Assistant: A loop allows you to repeat a block of code multiple times.

Example: for i in range(5): print(i)

User: Write a Python function to add two numbers Assistant: Example:

def add(a, b): return a + b

print(add(5,3))

User: My Python code is not working Assistant: Please share your code and I will help find the problem.
