A desktop application designed to bring the security and ease of an app store to managing Claude Code skills. It addresses user concerns around code risks and disorganized skill management by providing a visual interface for discovery, installation, security scanning, and lifecycle management, aiming to make AI-assisted workflows safer and more streamlined.

How It Works

Agent Skills Guard transforms the command-line-driven world of Claude Code skills into a user-friendly desktop application. Its core approach combines a modern, minimalist GUI with a robust security scanning engine and a curated marketplace. The application offers full lifecycle management for skills, from discovery and one-click installation (including plugin-form installation to avoid compatibility issues) to smart updates and easy uninstallation. The security scanner analyzes skills against 8 risk categories and 22 hard-trigger rules, assigning a confidence-graded score and generating detailed reports to inform users about potential threats before installation.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Primary install / run command: Download and install the .dmg (macOS) or .msi (Windows) package from GitHub Releases.
• Non-default prerequisites and dependencies: None for end-users. Developer builds require pnpm.
• Links:
  • Releases: https://github.com/brucevanfdm/agent-skills-guard/releases

Highlighted Details

• Comprehensive Security Scanning: Analyzes code for 8 risk categories (e.g., RCE, command injection, sensitive data exfiltration) and 22 hard-trigger rules, providing a 0-100 security score with High/Medium/Low confidence levels to minimize false positives.
• Full Lifecycle Management: Enables visual discovery, one-click installation, smart updates, and easy uninstallation of skills, supporting custom installation paths and plugin-form installations.
• Curated Skills Marketplace: Features an AI-curated repository of high-quality skills, synchronizes with the Claude plugin market, and allows users to add custom GitHub repositories.
• Modern UI/UX: Offers a clean, macOS-inspired design with intuitive sidebar navigation, smooth animations, and bilingual (English/Chinese) support.

Maintenance & Community

The project is primarily maintained by a single developer, "Bruce." Community engagement is facilitated through GitHub Issues for bug reports and feature requests, and updates are shared via X/Twitter. An "Agent Skills Safety Exchange Group" is also available for discussion.

Licensing & Compatibility

The project is released under the MIT License, which permits broad usage, including commercial applications and closed-source linking, with minimal restrictions.

Limitations & Caveats

The security scanning mechanism relies on preset rules and cannot guarantee 100% accuracy, potentially leading to false positives or negatives. Users are advised to exercise caution, review source code for untrusted skills, and understand that all usage consequences are borne by the user. The application is currently available only for macOS and Windows.
