## How this list is read

The list starts from Anthropic's own skills repository and the public lists of skills that the community keeps, and reads every repository they link to. Each SKILL.md is read as text, with the scripts in its folder. Nothing is run. A skill that appears in several repositories is listed once, with its copies counted. Licences come from the licence file in the skill's folder or its repository. What the code touches is read from the text of its scripts, so it shows what the code can do, not what it does on any one run.

The Monitor never stores or serves a skill's files: every page links to the author's repository, and the name and description are the author's own words. An author can correct or remove a page through [Right of reply](https://monitor.paciva.ai/about#reply).
