the key difference
skills.sh proved the concept: markdown files that teach agents new capabilities, installable from a central directory. it works and it was first.
inference.sh skills builds on that foundation with proper versioning (semantic versions, not just git SHAs), security scanning on every publish, verified namespaces (no squatting), and evolution tracking. when someone forks and improves a skill, the lineage is tracked and the best forks surface automatically.
security by default
every skill published to inference.sh is scanned for prompt injection, credential leaks, exfiltration patterns, and unsafe tool calls. six automated checks run on every version before publish. skills.sh has no scanning. you trust the author entirely.
verified namespaces mean @anthropic is actually Anthropic. no squatting, no impersonation. creator reputation builds over time based on install counts and community trust signals.
frequently asked questions
can I migrate skills from skills.sh?
yes. skills are markdown files. copy your skill content, upload with belt skill upload, and you get versioning, scanning, and a verified namespace on top.
do skills.sh skills work on inference.sh?
the format is compatible. you can install any skill as a markdown file. publishing to inference.sh adds versioning, security scanning, and discoverability.
is the skill registry free?
yes. browsing, installing, forking, and publishing are all free. skills are content. if a skill calls a paid model at runtime, the model run is billed, not the skill.
