Security-first skill vetting for AI agent skills. Use before installing any skill from public registries (e.g. skill hubs, GitHub) or other sources. Checks for red flags, permission scope, and suspicious patterns.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Skill Vetter Security-first vetting protocol for AI agent skills. **Never install a skill without vetting it first.** ## When to Use - Before installing any skill from a public registry (e.g. skill hub, GitHub) - Before running skills from GitHub repos - When evaluating skills shared by other agents - Anytime you're asked to install unknown code ## Rule ownership This skill owns import-time security and content-safety review. `SKILL_VALIDATION_PATTERNS.md` is the public reference for pattern IDs and review examples; agents should load this skill before making install decisions. - Do not execute candidate code while vetting. - Frontmatter and sidecar metadata drift is a finding, not an excuse to skip review. - Inspect sensitive matches internally. Report only file, line, column, pattern ID, and description; never echo matched candidate content. - Use `ls-skill-sandbox-tester` only after vetting and normalization have passed. ## Vetting Protocol ### Step 1: Source Check ``` Questions to answer: - [ ] Where did this skill come from? - [ ] Is the author known/reputable? - [ ] How many downloads/stars does it have? - [ ] When was it last updated? …

How to install
mdr add cruxexperts/localsetup/ls-skill-security-vetting@sha256:374c95244f5a77c6The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
