Scan AI agent skills for phone-home before you run them

What it does

skillvet is a one-command supply-chain scanner for AI agent skills and MCP servers. It reads the tree without executing it and prints a RED / YELLOW / GREEN verdict in about five seconds. Node 20+, zero runtime dependencies. Flags undeclared outbound hosts, ~/.ssh and token reads, npm postinstall hooks, base64/eval-style obfuscation, and unexpected binaries. MIT license.

    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…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
