[15.7.0] - 2026-07-29 - "Risk Metadata and Installation Hardening"
Completed semantic risk classification across the catalog, hardened skill installation and maintainer evidence boundaries, and added a consent-gated backend provisioning skill.
Start here:
- AAS Core setup: configure the exact
aasruntime with the Core guide - Direct skill distribution:
npx agentic-awesome-skills - Choose your tool
- Best skills by tool
- Bundles
- Workflows
Added
- Added
cohesivityfor consent-gated provisioning of Postgres, Redis, object and vector storage, hosting, authentication, email, managed browser, and model APIs, with private credential storage, explicit retention disclosure, and budget controls. - Regenerated the canonical catalog and Codex/Claude distribution surfaces for 1,994 skills.
Changed
- Replaced all 940 remaining
risk: unknowndeclarations with individually reviewed semantic classifications: 798critical, 71none, 60safe, and 11offensive. - Added the repository-standard authorized-use disclaimer and per-action confirmation gate to the 11 newly classified offensive skills.
- Added a pre-install audit and prominent risk summary while preserving the full-catalog installation default.
- Replaced mutable external installation guidance with approval-gated, full-commit-SHA inspect-first workflows and clarified the difference between antivirus text detections and evidence of execution.
- Bounded changed-skill ownership lookup by changed-path depth, extended the trusted evaluator budget for repository-wide reviews, and safely supported legacy executable-mode
SKILL.mdsnapshots without materializing executable files, symlinks, or gitlinks. - Updated Modellix vendored source URLs and speech defaults, upgraded the catalog web app to
@supabase/supabase-js2.111.0, and normalized indexable catalog links for GitHub Pages.
Security
- Removed mutable provider instructions from BrowserAct's operating-policy boundary and required full 40-character Git commit pins for linked FindMate profiles.
- Strengthened installation safety for offensive and externally sourced skills with explicit authorization, command confirmation, provenance inspection, and immutable source pins.
- Hardened Cohesivity credential files to private permissions and documented privacy, retention, billing, overage, and x402 self-payment boundaries.
Who should care
- Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, and Antigravity users who want actionable risk metadata before installing or running skills.
- Security-conscious teams auditing offensive, networked, credential-bearing, or externally sourced skills.
- Maintainers running large repository-wide skill reviews through the protected evidence and merge workflow.
- Developers who need a consent-gated, agent-provisioned backend without manually copying credentials.
Validation
- Passed canonical skill and reference validation, documentation security, warning-budget enforcement, changed-skill evidence, repository and AAS Core tests, protected CI, and CodeQL.
- Confirmed canonical synchronization reproduced all risk labels and Cohesivity content byte-for-byte across Codex and Claude plugin distributions.
- The protected release gate binds the release PR, tag, GitHub Release, npm
latest, CI, CodeQL, release-only Pages deployment, live catalog and legacy bridge, and every already-configured AAS MCP host to the exact released commit.
