skills

A settings file that runs a command when an agent session starts. The command lists installed skills from the user's home folder and the current project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect or configure startup behavior for an agent project that stores skills in standard skill folders.
Why use it?
It gives the session an automatic way to show which skills are available, so you do not have to check manually.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Security

Grade B, and why

skills scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Other skills' SKILL.md files reveal prompts, capabilities and secrets that should be invisible to peers.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
