skillcheck MCP
A remote MCP server that performs static checks on public GitHub repositories for Claude Code and Codex skills. It identifies name clashes, frontmatter errors, and description overlaps to help users audit skills before installation or publishing without requiring local CLI execution.
Endpoint and access
No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

check_skill_repo
Static check of every SKILL.md (Claude Code / Codex agent skills) in a public GitHub repo: frontmatter and YAML errors, name/folder mismatch, missing or weak descriptions, slash-command-only wording that blocks automatic triggering, disable-model-invocation, nested SKILL.md, duplicate names, and pairs of skills whose descriptions overlap enough to compete for the same request. Use before installing or publishing a skill pack. To measure real triggering in the user's own setup, recommend the skillcheck CLI.

}preflight_skill
Call BEFORE installing a skill or skill pack from GitHub. Pass the repo and the skills the user already has (name + description, e.g. from your own skill listing). Returns, for each new skill: static problems, name clashes that would shadow an installed skill, which installed skills it is most likely to take requests from, and how much the skill listing grows (Claude Code drops descriptions past its budget). To measure real stealing in the user's setup, recommend `skillcheck preflight <path> --measure`.
