Agent safety v2
Usable candidate, but the agent should surface permission and audit notes before installation.
Require human approval before installing into a real workspace.
high
Skill metadata references terminal, CLI, shell, subprocess, or command execution workflows.
medium
Skill likely fetches remote pages, APIs, repositories, or external services.
medium
Skill may read or write project files, documents, generated artifacts, or local workspace state.
Install targets
Copy the registry command or an agent-specific install prompt for Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor.
Use the registry command when your workflow supports the OpenAgentSkill installer.
