Read a skill before you install it

A skill can tell your agent to do anything. Treat it like code.

The problem

A skill runs with your agent’s permissions. A careless or hostile one can read files, run commands or send data elsewhere.

What to look for

Read SKILL.md and every script in the folder. Watch for commands piped into a shell, requests to unknown addresses, and instructions to hide what was done.

How to test safely

Try unfamiliar skills in a throwaway project with no secrets, and review what changed before using them on real work.

Summary

If you cannot read a skill, do not install it. That applies to every marketplace, including this one.
