Identify error-prone APIs and dangerous configurations
What this skill does
# Sharp Edges ## Overview Identify error-prone APIs and dangerous configurations that could lead to bugs, security vulnerabilities, or system failures. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when you need to identify error-prone APIs and dangerous configurations. Use this skill when: - Reviewing code for potentially dangerous API usage - Identifying configurations that could cause issues - Analyzing code for error-prone patterns - Assessing risk in API design or configuration choices - Performing security audits focused on API misuse ## Instructions This skill helps identify problematic APIs and configurations: 1. **API Analysis**: Review API usage for error-prone patterns 2. **Configuration Review**: Identify dangerous or risky configurations 3. **Pattern Recognition**: Spot common mistakes and pitfalls 4. **Risk Assessment**: Evaluate the potential impact of identified issues ## Common Sharp Edges ### Error-Prone APIs - APIs with complex parameter requirements - APIs with non-obvious failure modes - APIs that require careful resource management - APIs with timing or concurrency issues - APIs with unclear error handling ### Dangerous Configurations - Default settings that are insecure - Configurations that bypass security controls - Settings that enable dangerous features - Options that reduce system reliability - Parameters that affect performance negatively ## Detection Strategies 1. **Code Review**: Look for known problematic patterns 2. **Static Analysis**: Use tools to identify risky API usage 3. **Configuration Audits**: Review configuration files for dangerous settings 4. **Documentation Review**: Check for warnings about API usage 5. **Experience-Based**: Leverage knowledge of common pitfalls ## Best Practices - Document identified sharp edges - Provide clear guidance on safe usage - Create examples of correct vs incorrect usage - Recommend safer alternatives when available - Update documentation with findings ## Resources For more information, see the [source repository](https://github.com/trailofbits/skills/tree/main/plugins/sharp-edges).

IncludedAccess comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.
let-fate-decide
IncludedDraws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.
