What it does

Skill Inspector helps you analyze and understand the capabilities, risks, and behaviors of AI skills before they reach production. It inspects how skills are defined, what tools and permissions they rely on, and how they behave across different scenarios. Whether you're building copilots or AI-powered apps, Skill Inspector gives you the visibility and confidence to ship AI safely. Identify risky patterns, validate skill behavior, and ensure your AI does exactly what you expect - no surprises.

Scan agent skills for security issues before installing them

Our analysis of nearly 4,000 agent skills across major marketplaces uncovered credential theft, backdoor installation, and data exfiltration hidden in publicly available skills. We are providing Agent Scan's Skill Inspector as a tool to the community so anyone can check both for malicious skills and for security vulnerabilities in their skills before installing them. Use Snyk Agent Scan 's CLI to scan agent skills and MCP servers directly on your machine. It auto-discovers agents, MCP servers, and skills across Claude Code/Desktop, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and Windsurf.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
