Scans AI agent skills for malicious code
SkillGuard launched on August 27, 2026 with 2 votes, #5,788 of 23,274 launches that month.
What it does
We built a zero-config npm/pip scanner that audits AI agent skills before installation. We expose security gaps by diffing declared permissions against real-world behavior across 10 rule categories. Unlike single-file scanners, we catch combined multi-file risks: privilege chaining, prompt injections, undeclared network calls, and credential harvesting. SkillGuard is open-source, self-hosted, and licensed with Apache 2.0.
Security scanner for third-party AI agent-skill files (SKILL.md manifests, hooks, bundled scripts). CLI, library, MCP server, and GitHub Action, all reading the same 10 rule packs, including cross-skill privilege chaining and prompt-injection detection. Zero-auth, zero-config npx or pip scan. - RudrenduPaul/skillguard

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
