- An agent skill is just markdown + scripts that run in **your** environment — and the public
21
- registries that serve them are largely unvetted. shucky is the safe front door: it **fetches a
22
- skill from anywhere, scans it as untrusted data, and installs it only if it passes.**
20
+ Agent skills live *everywhere* — GitHub, GitLab, gists, tarballs, `.well-known` hosts, a dozen
21
+ registries — and every agent installs them a little differently. shucky is the **one command that
22
+ installs a skill from _any_ source into _all_ your agents**, with no per-repo setup and no per-agent
23
+ wiring. And because a skill is just code that runs in your environment, **every install is scanned first.**
