You need: Node.js 20 or later, for npx vskill@latest

Steps

  1. Search the registry with npx vskill@latest find <topic>. Each result shows its version, the repository's GitHub stars, its trust tier and a link to its page.
  2. Open the skill page on verified-skill.com to read its trust tier, its security scan and model review and, when one exists, its task evaluation.
  3. Install it with npx vskill@latest install <owner>/<repo>/<skill>. vskill scans SKILL.md, downloads the whole skill folder and scans every file before it writes anything. Add --global for a user-level install and --yes to install to every agent it detects without prompts.
  4. Run npx vskill@latest list to see installed skills, their versions and sources.
  5. Run npx vskill@latest update --global to fetch each user-level skill from its source and update the ones that changed. Drop --global inside a project.
Transcript

Find and install a verified skill, from search to update.

Search the registry with vskill find and a topic. Each result shows its version, GitHub stars and trust tier, with a link to its page on verified-skill.com.

The page shows trust tier 4, the top of a rating built from scan results, provenance, age, installs and reports. Below are the security scan and the model review, and, when one exists, a task evaluation.

Install it with vskill install. It scans SKILL.md, then downloads the whole skill folder and scans every file before it writes anything. --yes installs to every agent it detects: here Claude Code and Codex. --global installs at user level, outside any one project.

vskill list shows the installed skill, its version and its source.

vskill update --global fetches each user-level skill from its source and compares it with your copy. pdf has not changed.

Next, see what the security scan checks.

The narration as voiced in the video.
