What 66,192 agent skills tell an AI to do

A scanner asks whether a skill is trying to hurt you. We asked a different question: what does it do?

This dataset is the answer, one row per skill. Built by Pheo.

What we found

705 skills, from 135 publishers, are called clean by every scanner in the registry and still tell an agent to download code from the internet and run it.

We then took 53 of these scanner-clean skills and gave each one to a real agent in a throwaway container.

	Pheo OFF	Pheo ON
Fetch code off the internet and run it	22 ran	22 held
Read a credential file	2 ran	2 held
Destructive file operation	1 ran	1 held
Skills reaching something irreversible	23 of 53	0 of 53

Forty three percent reached an action that cannot be undone. The OFF column is what the scanners already permitted.

You are approving a URL

This is the part we think matters most.

When you install a skill, you are not approving code. You are approving a URL.

The script at that URL today is fine. The scanner checked it. Nobody checks it tomorrow.

Those 23 skills pulled code from 13 different domains in one sitting. astral.sh. s.dwimg.top. mirrors.aliyun.com. dashboard.openblocklabs.com. None pinned, none signed, none reviewed by anyone at your company.

If one of those thirteen is ever compromised, the agent downloads it and runs it as you, with your keys, on your machine. The scan happened at install time. This happens at run time.

Perimeter security decides whether the agent gets in. This is the question after that one: it is in, so what is it doing?

The skills, by name

Every row is in this dataset, and clean by all four scanners in the source corpus. Join on skill_slug and check.

We hold one skill in twenty

Skills in the corpus	66,192
Run no commands at all	40,413
Run at least one command	25,779
Passed	24,366 (94.5%)
Held for a person	1,413 (5.5%)

npm install, git clone, make, reading a file: classified, recorded, allowed. A control that stops everything gets switched off in a week.

These are the classes we hold:

Class	Skills	Severity
Downloads code off the internet and runs it	1,142	92
Reads credential files	154	89
Destructive file operation	115	94
Merge to a protected branch	10	85
Trigger a CI workflow	2	85
Delete or transfer a repo	1	95
Change a secret	1	90

One class is 81% of it, which makes this a queue a person can read.

We looked for malware

We searched all 66,192 skills for reverse shells, browser cookie theft, keychain extraction, cloud metadata access and container escape.

The scanners had already caught every real one. Skills whose bundled scripts instruct something irreversible were flagged 98.1% of the time, against a 54.4% baseline. They read the shipped code, and they are good at it.

Installers download and execute code. That is what installers are for. We flag them so a person sees them go by.

Where scanning stops

Thirteen classes can never run unattended. This corpus contains five. We searched 1,362 bundled scripts for the other eight:

delete_or_transfer_repo · deploy · manage_webhook · secret_change · modify_branch_protection · iam_change · modify_github_actions · computer_commit

Deploy and branch merges appear twice each. The rest, zero.

Skills do not deploy, rotate secrets or change IAM. Those happen at run time, while an agent does real work on your systems. Severity 85 to 95. At scan time they do not exist yet.

The data

Column	Meaning
requires_review	True if the skill contains something that cannot be undone
classes	Which kinds of action it contains, ;-separated
max_severity	0 to 100, the worst thing in it
n_classes	How many distinct kinds
shell_blocks	Command blocks found
unresolved_blocks	Blocks we could not read, counted separately
skill_slug	Joins to the source corpus
split	Same splits as the source

import pandas as pd
d = pd.read_csv("clawhub-consequence-classes.csv")
d[d.skill_slug == "rogeecn/memos-cli"]
#   classes: shell_exec;shell_remote_exec   max_severity: 92   requires_review: True

action-classes.json is the codebook: 33 classes, each with a severity and whether it can ever become routine.

Labels come from a deterministic resolver. No model, no inference, no network call. It reads the command string and nothing else, so the same command always produces the same class and any row can be re-derived.

Limits

Precision is 92%, 95% CI [84.8, 96.5] on a hand-adjudicated sample of 100. The known failure is content inside a heredoc reading as a command.

Counts are a floor. We read only fenced shell content, skip prose, and skip a block unless its first command is one we recognise.

Skill granularity. The source corpus collapses newlines inside code blocks, so a row says this skill instructs at least one action of class X, not how many times.

One publisher accounts for 506 of the 705. Read it as 135 independent parties. Excluding that publisher leaves 152 skills, 93 publishers, 102 distinct commands and 48 domains.

We report the class of action, not the intent behind it.
