The Problem

AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) can be extended with skills — reusable packages that teach agents how to perform tasks. The ecosystem is growing fast: 110,000+ installs in 4 days on one registry alone.

But today's skill registries have no versioning, no lockfiles, no permissions, and no security scanning. In February 2026, the ClawHavoc incident revealed that 341 malicious skills (12% of a major marketplace) were distributing credential-stealing malware.

Agent skills are more dangerous than npm packages because they execute with the agent's full authority — reading files, making API calls, running shell commands. The attack surface is fundamentally larger.

What Tank Does

Tank is the npm for agent skills, with security built into the foundation:

## The Problem

AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) can be extended with **skills** — reusable packages that teach agents how to perform tasks. The ecosystem is growing fast: 110,000+ installs in 4 days on one registry alone.

But today's skill registries have **no versioning, no lockfiles, no permissions, and no security scanning**. In February 2026, the ClawHavoc incident revealed that 341 malicious skills (12% of a major marketplace) were distributing credential-stealing malware.

Agent skills are more dangerous than npm packages because they execute with the **agent's full authority** — reading files, making API calls, running shell commands. The attack surface is fundamentally larger.

## What Tank Does

Tank is the **npm for agent skills**, with security built into the foundation:

| Feature         | npm (2012)              | Current Registries | Tank                                 |

Price & running costs

Get the skill: Price unconfirmed
Run it: Requirements have not been confirmed. Check the source for agent, API and service charges.
License: MIT
Price unconfirmed: We have not confirmed a price for this skill. Existing source and install links remain available.

Free to get does not mean free to run. Price labels are not safety ratings. Submit pricing information →

Source structure unverified

A repository listing is not proof of an installable skill. Review its instructions before proposing any installation.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install

License: MIT

Dependency or permission surface needs review
Permission surface may require sandboxing
Low GitHub adoption signal
Quality score needs review
Permission surface needs review: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution
GitHub adoption: 36 GitHub stars
Stars/forks activity: 36 stars, 6 forks; issue activity unavailable in current metadata
Dependency/runtime risk: command execution surface, credential or environment access
Permission surface: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.

Agent access

This page exposes the same decision, trust, audit, use-case, and install signals through the Registry API, so agents can rank this skill without scraping the UI.
