Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill

What it does

This skill, created by Anthropics, allows AI agents to discover and install skills. It provides a mechanism for agents to expand their capabilities by integrating new functionalities from the TrustedSkills registry. The agent can search for available skills based on various criteria and then automatically download and configure them.

When to use it

  • An agent needs access to specialized knowledge or tools not already included in its core programming.
  • You want to dynamically update an agent's capabilities without manually modifying its code.
  • A new skill is released that would benefit the agent’s performance on a specific task.
  • To enable an AI agent to learn and adapt by incorporating skills from a centralized registry.

Key capabilities

  • Skill discovery: Search for available skills within the TrustedSkills registry.
  • Skill installation: Automatically download and configure selected skills.
  • Dynamic capability expansion: Agents can gain new functionalities on demand.
  • Integration with TrustedSkills registry: Leverages the central repository of AI agent skills.

Example prompts

  • "Find me a skill for analyzing financial reports."
  • "Install the latest data visualization skill from the registry."
  • “What are the top-rated skills related to customer service?”

Tips & gotchas

The agent needs appropriate permissions to install and configure new skills. Ensure that the TrustedSkills registry is accessible and properly configured for the agent to function correctly.
