Security Considerations

Git Credentials

OpenSkills clones repositories from GitHub. To protect your security:

What we do:

  • Use git clone with HTTPS (no credentials required for public repos)
  • Clean up temporary directories after installation
  • Only install from public repositories by default

⚠️ What you should do:

  • Only install skills from trusted sources
  • Review SKILL.md content before loading in AI agents
  • Be cautious with skills that include executable scripts
  • Verify repository ownership before installing

Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability:

  1. DO NOT open a public issue
  2. Email: security@[check GitHub profile for contact]
  3. Include:
    • Description of the vulnerability
    • Steps to reproduce
    • Potential impact
    • Suggested fix (if any)

We aim to respond to security reports within 48 hours.

Responsible Disclosure

We follow responsible disclosure practices:

  • Security issues are patched before public disclosure
  • Reporter receives credit (unless anonymity is requested)
  • Timeline for disclosure is coordinated with reporter

Security Best Practices

When using OpenSkills:

  • Verify sources: Only install skills from trusted repositories
  • Review content: Check SKILL.md before loading in agents
  • Inspect scripts: Review any executable scripts in skills/scripts/
  • Keep updated: Use the latest version for security patches
  • Report issues: If you find malicious skills, report them

The following are not security vulnerabilities:

  • Skills with poor quality or incorrect instructions
  • Git clone failures due to network issues
  • Skills that don't work as described
  • Repository not found errors
