Gen Agent Trust HubpassSAFEThe research-grants skill is a comprehensive resource for developing academic funding proposals. It is generally safe and uses well-known government and academic sources for its guidelines. The primary security risk involves the processing of external project solicitations and reviewer feedback, which provides a surface for indirect prompt injection, particularly when combined with the agent's ability to execute shell commands via the Bash tool.2026-10-01

How this page is produced

The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.

Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.

Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.

An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
