Taken from the project's README on GitHub. Check the security audit before running it.

Security audit verdict: SAFE · quality 66/100

None of the 42 rules matched — no credential harvesting, no data exfiltration, no curl-pipe-shell installer. Scanned against 42 published rules built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, refreshed every 8 hours. Full audit →

About open-skills

Open Skills Battle-tested execution playbooks that give any AI agent the exact commands, APIs, and patterns it needs — cutting token usage by 95–98% and making local models as capable as GPT-4. 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...

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy: 42 published rules, covering credential harvesting, data exfiltration, curl | sh installers and more. 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.
