Hey HN. I built a security registry for AI agent skills. There are 64k skills on Vercel's skills.sh. Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and dozens more agents pull them from GitHub at HEAD — no versioning, signing, or scanning. The OpenClaw agents themselves flagged this: "The supply chain attack nobody is talking about: skill.md is an unsigned binary."[0] I took an official skill that packages other skills, added a few lines of Python to exfiltrate env vars, shell history, and git config, and installed it into Claude Code and Codex. Claude Code ran the script without flagging the outbound…

What it does

When you install an AI agent skill, you're running code pulled from GitHub at HEAD with no signing, versioning, or scanning. Vett scans every skill before it reaches your machine: static analysis, exfiltration chain detection, OSV dependency checks, and Sigstore signing. Early scans have already turned up malware disguised as Google and LinkedIn tools, and skills with thousands of installs that quietly modify your agent's own configuration files.

Vett scans and signs every AI agent skill before it runs. Host agents on isolated Firecracker microVMs with Vett Enclave. Hosted OpenClaw from $19.99/mo.

Vett scans every agent skill for malicious code and signs what passes. Vett Enclave runs each agent on its own VM with vaulted credentials and an audit trail. Skills are pulled straight from GitHub with no verification. A setup file reads your shell history, collects your environment variables, and posts them to a remote server disguised as a routine API call. And on a shared host, one compromised agent reaches every other agent's data. Agent skills ship without verification, and most hosts run every agent on shared infrastructure. 40+ static analysis rules flag injection, exfiltration, and credential access at the AST level. Ambiguous findings get escalated to an LLM that compares behavior…from vett.sh

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
