Statically extract normalized feature vectors, profile multi-factor execution risks, and evaluate harness compatibility for agent skills without third-party dependencies. Use when analyzing untrusted or new skills, auditing capabilities, or gating skill adoption in workflows.
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 Gate **Skill Gate** provides standard-library-only static feature extraction, multi-factor risk profiling, and harness compatibility evaluation for AI agent skills. **Invariant:** Skill Gate is strictly static and read-only. It never executes untrusted skill code, executes shell scripts, or makes network calls. It inspects `SKILL.md`, AST nodes from Python scripts, and lexical tokens from shell scripts to derive deterministic vectors and evaluate risk boundaries. ## Audit Workflow When evaluating a candidate skill (e.g. under `skills/<name>` or an untrusted external directory): 1. **Run Static Audit**: Execute `skill_gate.py` against the target skill directory from the repo root: ```sh python3 skills/skill-gate/skill_gate.py <skill_dir> --json --check-compat pi ``` 2. **Evaluate the Risk Verdict**: - **ALLOW** (`score < 0.30`, no redlines): Safe for adoption; conforms to static boundaries. - **WARN** (`0.30 <= score < 0.70`, no redlines): Contains network imports or sensitive environment variable lookups. Review findings before adopting. …

How to install
mdr add jon-devlapaz/tink-skills/skill-gate@sha256:aa2b4721ce9929ebThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.700d533, 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.
