Aggregated from verified user reviews. We weight recency — a skill with 10 reviews this month beats one with 100 reviews two years ago.
Security Score
We monitor skills for security vulnerabilities, unusual permissions, and community-reported issues. Skills with open security alerts are flagged prominently.

A weighted combination of community trust, install velocity, review quality, and maintenance activity.
