About SkillLens

✨ Overview SkillLens is a framework for systematically studying model-generated agent skills across their full lifecycle: experience generation → skill extraction → skill consumption. It is built to answer the core question: What makes model-generated skills actually useful to a target model, and what drives skill utility across the experience → extraction → consumption lifecycle? The framework provides: 🧪 Unified trajectory loading across five agent benchmarks (SWE-bench, ALFWorld, SpreadsheetBench, BFCL v4, SEAL-0) ⚙️ Two extraction methods — (single-pass baseline) and (per-trajectory mode extraction + hierarchical merge, the primary method in the paper) 🚀 Unified inference CLI (

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.
