The Problem AI agents waste tokens discovering what you already know: Cloud models (GPT-4, Claude) — 10–30 trial-and-error calls per task → $0.15–$0.25/task Local models (Llama, Mistral, Qwen) — often fail outright without step-by-step guidance The Solution Pre-written, tested skill files your agent reads once and executes correctly the first time.

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
