Checks the third-party security audit status of a skill published to a skills registry (skills.sh) across every cached surface, decides whether a failing finding is real or points at content already removed, and drives a stale badge to green unattended. Runs a real install to capture what users see, reads the per-provider finding codes the JSON API omits, and greps each flagged literal against the repository and shipped tree; emits a next-action verdict, checks whether an install can even fire…
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
# Registry security status for a published skill
A registry stores a skill's audit in several places that drift apart, and the
verdict a user sees at install time is not the one the JSON API returns. Worse,
a re-audit can run against a stored snapshot rather than the current default
branch, so a finding can survive long after the code it describes is deleted.
Answering "is this failure real?" therefore means reading four surfaces and then
proving, by grep, whether the flagged string still exists.
`scripts/registry_audit.py` does all of that concurrently. Run it first; read
the rest of this file only when the output needs interpreting.
## Quick start
```bash
python3 maintainers/skills-registry-security/scripts/registry_audit.py \
starslingdev/skills/ci-secure
```
Roughly 40 seconds, most of it the install. Add `--no-install` for a ~3 second
check when only the cached verdicts matter. `--json` emits the same data
machine-readably; `--ref` picks the git ref to verify literals against
(default `origin/main`).
The script is read-only: HTTP GETs, a throwaway install into a temp directory,
and greps over a local checkout. It never POSTs to the registry and never

How to install
mdr add starslingdev/skills/skills-registry-security@sha256:b835de9248bf1df2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.c8495fe, 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.
