SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enforces a security gate to prevent insecure or malicious third-party skills from being installed by mandating a formal vetting workflow prior to deployment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces source checks and mandatory code reviews before installation.
  • Escalates incomplete or dynamic content (JS-rendered pages) to ensure thorough review via fallback readers.
  • Provides a repeatable, auditable vetting process with clear risk ratings and install guidance.
  • Supports decision-making when users request exploration of unknown code and shared skills.

Quick Start

Request a security vetting of a candidate skill from GitHub or skills.sh and obtain a risk rating before installation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I vet third-party skills for security risks before installing them?

To vet third-party skills for security risks, you need a formal review process that fetches source code, checks metadata, and assigns a risk rating before installation. This approach enforces a mandatory gate workflow to mitigate insecure or malicious code.

What is a skill vetting workflow and how does it prevent malicious code installation?

A skill vetting workflow prevents malicious code installation by mandating source checks and code reviews prior to deployment. It fetches source URLs, analyzes metadata, and escalates dynamic content to fallback readers for thorough risk assessment.

How do I review shared skills from GitHub or skills.sh to check for compliance issues?

To review shared skills from GitHub or skills.sh for compliance issues, apply a security gate that fetches and analyzes the source code and metadata. This process provides clear risk ratings and install guidance to ensure safe deployment.

How do you assess third-party skill installation risks when pages use dynamic JavaScript rendering?

To assess third-party skill installation risks with JavaScript-rendered pages, the vetting process escalates incomplete or dynamic content using fallback readers. This ensures thorough source review and accurate risk assessment before proceeding.

Can I use an automated security gate to evaluate unknown code before deployment?

Yes, you can use an automated security gate to evaluate unknown code before deployment. It enforces a repeatable, auditable vetting process that reviews source files and metadata to generate clear risk ratings and installation guidance.

What are the limitations of reviewing third-party skills without a mandatory vetting gate?

Without a mandatory vetting gate, reviewing third-party skills lacks a repeatable, auditable process, making it difficult to enforce source checks and mitigate security risks from unknown code or dynamic content prior to installation.
