JSON Wizard

JSON formatting, validation, and conversion tool. Format, compress, validate JSON, and convert between JSON and YAML.

Security Scan

The skill's code, instructions, and requirements match its stated purpose (JSON/YAML formatting and validation); nothing in the files appears malicious or unrelated, though there are a few minor inconsistencies to be aware of.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description (JSON formatting, validation, conversion) align with the included script and requirements. Minor inconsistency: SKILL.md usage shows the script path as 'skills/json-formatter/scripts/json_formatter.py' while the repository contains 'scripts/json_formatter.py' (README also references 'scripts/json_formatter.py'). This is a packaging/path mismatch that can break execution but is not a security issue.

Instruction Scope

The SKILL.md instructions are narrowly scoped to formatting/validating/converting JSON and YAML. The runtime script will read an input string or an arbitrary local file when invoked with --file; it prints JSON-formatted results to stdout. There are no network calls, no references to unrelated env vars, and no attempts to access config or credentials. Note: reading arbitrary local files is expected for a converter but could expose sensitive files if used on secrets.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec (instruction-only skill) and no downloads. A requirements.txt lists pyyaml; the script gracefully handles PyYAML not being installed. README suggests 'pip install pyyaml' for YAML support. This is proportionate and low-risk.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. This is appropriate for its stated functionality.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request persistent/always presence (always:false) and does not modify other skills or system configuration. Default autonomous invocation is allowed but not in itself a red flag here.

Assessment

This skill appears to do exactly what it says: format, compress, validate JSON and convert to/from YAML. Before installing or running it: 1) ensure python3 is available; install PyYAML (pip install pyyaml) if you need YAML conversion; otherwise JSON-only features work without it. 2) Be aware the script can read arbitrary local files when run with --file, so do not point it at sensitive files unless you intend to process them. 3) Fix the path mismatch in SKILL.md (it references a different path than the actual file) so the agent can invoke the script reliably. Overall the skill is coherent and contains no obvious malicious behavior.

JSON Formatter

A simple JSON formatting, validation, and conversion tool.

Features

• Format/Beautify - Make JSON readable with proper indentation
• Compress/Minify - Remove whitespace for compact JSON
• Validate - Check JSON syntax and report errors
• Convert - JSON ↔ YAML conversion

Usage

python3 skills/json-formatter/scripts/json_formatter.py <action> [options]

Actions

Action	Description
format	Format JSON with indentation
compress	Minify JSON (remove whitespace)
validate	Validate JSON syntax
to-yaml	Convert JSON to YAML
from-yaml	Convert YAML to JSON

Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
--input	string	-	Input string or file path
--indent	int	2	Indentation spaces (for format)
--file	bool	false	Treat input as file path

Examples

# Format JSON
python3 skills/json-formatter/scripts/json_formatter.py format --input '{"name":"test","value":123}'

# Compress JSON
python3 skills/json-formatter/scripts/json_formatter.py compress --input '{"name": "test", "value": 123}'

# Validate JSON
python3 skills/json-formatter/scripts/json_formatter.py validate --input '{"name":"test"}'

# Convert to YAML
python3 skills/json-formatter/scripts/json_formatter.py to-yaml --input '{"name":"test","items":[1,2,3]}'

# From YAML to JSON
python3 skills/json-formatter/scripts/json_formatter.py from-yaml --input 'name: test'

Use Cases

1. Debug API responses - Format and inspect JSON data
2. Reduce file size - Compress JSON for storage/transmission
3. Validate config files - Check JSON syntax before deployment
4. Convert formats - Switch between JSON and YAML for different tools

Current Status
