What we check
Curation is the product. The bar:- The repo resolves. Public, reachable,
SKILL.mdat the skill folder’s root. - The license is real. A recognized SPDX license, stated in the repo. “Unknown” doesn’t render on this site — literally. See licensing.
- The description triggers honestly. It says what the skill does, when it fires, and when it doesn’t. No keyword stuffing.
- The skill works. We install it and run it. Normal case, edge case, out-of-scope case.
- The claims are true. Benchmarks, integrations, outputs — if the README says it, the skill does it.
What gets rejected
- No license, or a license that contradicts the repo.
- Dead or private repos.
- Descriptions engineered to trigger on everything.
- Skills that shell out to undisclosed paid APIs.
- Malware, obviously. Every submission gets scanned.
- Duplicates of existing listings with no improvement.
What listing means
Your skill appears in the catalog with its real provenance:- You stay the author. Listings link upstream to your repo. We index — we don’t fork, mirror, or claim.
- No fabricated numbers. We don’t show install counts we haven’t measured. Yours won’t get invented ones either.
- You can pull out. Email and the listing is gone within 48 hours.
