Agent safety v2
Strong metadata, audit, install, and review signals. Suitable for agent shortlists after normal workspace review.
Allow agent install in a sandbox or low-risk workspace, then promote after one successful narrow task.
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.
