Skill Scout

Discover the best Claude Code extensions on the web AND tell the user how safe each one is before installing. Reads the user's Claude Code setup (project context, memory, history), asks a few questions to understand their goal (general or a specific idea), then surfaces a ranked shortlist - name, what it does, what outputs it gives, a 0-100 trust score, a one-line why/why-not, and a link. On a chosen extension it runs a deep static safety scan and returns a final risk verdict (always caveated), then installs it on approval (SHA-pinned). Covers Skills, MCP servers, plugins, and slash commands.

From the SKILL.md

# skill-scout

The safety layer for growing your Claude Code setup. Every directory online ranks **popularity**;
none tells you if an extension will read your `.env` or rug-pull after you trust it. skill-scout
adds the missing signal: it finds the good ones **and vets them**.

`SKILL_DIR` below = the folder this file lives in. Run the CLI as
`python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/scout.py ...` (no `cd` needed). Requires Python 3.9+ and git; the `gh`
CLI is optional but removes GitHub rate limits.

## Golden rules (never break)

1. **Never promise "safe".** This is static analysis + reputation. Always give the caveat
   (`references/verdict-template.md`) and separate "**what I scanned in the code**" (facts) from
   "**what is a reputation signal**" (inference).
2. **Never install without explicit approval**, and never offer install for **band 4-5**.
3. **SHA-pin every install** and record it, so a future update can be re-vetted (rug-pull defense).
4. **Respond in the user's language.** No em-dashes - use a hyphen.
5. The vetter never runs the cloned code. Don't work around that.

## Mode A - Discover ("find me a skill for…")

Use when the user wants ideas, or has a goal but not a specific repo.

**1. Understand them first (don't ask what you can read).**
Skim their Claude Code setup: `CLAUDE.md`, any memory file, recent history, installed extensions.
Form a one-line hypothesis of what they do and where an extension could help.
