Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy

What it does

Skillradar is an agent skill from changchangidea-oss/SkillRadar. Discover, inspect, safety-check, and rank open Agent Skills before installing them. Use when an agent needs to find a skill for a task, compare candidate skills, inspect provenance or risk, or avoid loading large numbers of irrelevant skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • An agent needs to find a skill for a task
  • Compare candidate skills
  • Inspect provenance
  • Avoid loading large numbers of irrelevant skills

Example prompts

  • “/skillradar”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand the user's explicit task and extract the smallest useful capability set.
  2. Search the public SkillRadar safety-gated data, using all relevant shards rather than only the design index
  3. Prefer candidates with strong task relevance, recent maintenance, clear documentation, and acceptable safety grades. For multi-capability…
  4. Treat D and Blocked candidates as audit-only. Do not recommend them for automatic routing.
  5. For C candidates, clearly state why review is required before installation or use and prefer a nearby A/B alternative when task coverage…
  6. Return at most three recommended skills unless the user explicitly asks for a broader list.
  7. Before installation, show the source repository and explain any shell, network, secret, package-install, filesystem-write, git-write, or…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit be18131. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Skillradar loads about 732 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 320 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~732

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SkillRadar

Use SkillRadar as a read-first discovery and safety layer for Agent Skills.

Core rule

Discovery is not execution. Never execute scripts, install packages, expose secrets, or write to external systems merely because a skill is popular or highly ranked.

Workflow

  1. Understand the user's explicit task and extract the smallest useful capability set.
  2. Search the public SkillRadar safety-gated data, using all relevant shards rather than only the design index:
    • curated core: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/changchangidea-oss/SkillRadar/main/data/skills.json
    • design manifest: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/changchangidea-oss/SkillRadar/main/data/design-skill-index.json
    • general Agent Skills shard: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/changchangidea-oss/SkillRadar/main/data/general-skills-radar.json
    • discovery coverage: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/changchangidea-oss/SkillRadar/main/data/general-radar-latest.json
  3. Prefer candidates with strong task relevance, recent maintenance, clear documentation, and acceptable safety grades. For multi-capability tasks, prefer a small set that covers distinct explicit task facets instead of three generic near-matches.
  4. Treat D and Blocked candidates as audit-only. Do not recommend them for automatic routing.
  5. For C candidates, clearly state why review is required before installation or use and prefer a nearby A/B alternative when task coverage is comparable.
  6. Return at most three recommended skills unless the user explicitly asks for a broader list.
  7. Before installation, show the source repository and explain any shell, network, secret, package-install, filesystem-write, git-write, or deploy capability that matters.

Full Codex Plugin

The full Codex Plugin adds the bundled offline registry, Matching v2.1, bounded project-context evidence, the Router Quality Benchmark, and the Skill Budget Doctor. Follow the repository README for the current pinned release.

Installation

For standard Agent Skills, use the ecosystem's normal installer only after user approval, for example:

bash
npx skills add <owner/repo> --skill <skill-name>

For the full Codex Plugin, use the repository marketplace documented in the SkillRadar README.

What not to do

  • Do not equate GitHub stars with trust.
  • Do not install dozens of skills “just in case.”
  • Do not bypass the user's normal permission model.
  • Do not execute a discovered skill as part of evaluating it.
  • Do not recommend D or Blocked skills for automatic routing.
  • Do not let inferred project context override the user's explicit task.
