Security-first: every skill scanned for malware, prompt injection, and credential theft.

Why It Matters

skillsdirectory.com emerged as a direct answer to ClawHavoc. Every listed skill is scanned for malware, prompt injection, and credential theft. Skills are verified and graded. In a post-ClawHavoc world, a security-first registry is not paranoia — it is baseline hygiene. The catalog is smaller, but that's the point: trust over volume.

Strengths

  • Multi-vector security scanning: malware, prompt injection, credential theft
  • Verified and graded skills give a clear signal of trustworthiness
  • Directly addresses the biggest risk in the skills ecosystem
  • Smaller catalog is a feature, not a bug — everything listed has been vetted

Limitations

  • Smaller catalog means you may not find niche skills here
  • Scanning methodology is proprietary; independent audits would build more confidence
  • Still relatively new; track record is short

Risks

  • Proprietary scanning is a trust-me proposition — without independent verification, you're trading one trust problem for another
  • "Security-first" is strong marketing, but no scanner catches every attack vector; false confidence is worse than honest uncertainty
  • The business model is unclear — who's paying for continuous security scanning, and what happens when funding dries up?
  • Grading skills is subjective; the criteria aren't transparent enough for security-conscious teams to validate independently
