Skill Inspector helps you analyze and understand the capabilities, risks, and behaviors of AI skills before they reach production. It inspects how skills are defined, what tools and permissions they rely on, and how they behave across different scenarios. Whether you're building copilots or AI-powered apps, Skill Inspector gives you the visibility and confidence to ship AI safely. Identify risky patterns, validate skill behavior, and ensure your AI does exactly what you expect - no surprises.
Why we built Skill Inspector:
AI apps are increasingly powered by "skills" - reusable units that define what an AI can do, what tools it can access, and how it behaves. But as teams build and share more skills, a new problem emerges: we don’t actually know what those skills are capable of.
Developers and security teams kept asking:
- "What does this skill really do under the hood?"
- "What tools or data can it access?"
- "Is it safe to plug into our AI system?"
The reality is that most teams are operating on trust, not visibility. And that’s a risky place to be.
What we’re solving:
1. Making AI skills transparent - Skill Inspector breaks open the black box of AI skills. It analyzes their definitions, instructions, and tool usage so you can clearly understand what capabilities they expose.
2. Identifying risky or unexpected behavior - From overly broad permissions to ambiguous instructions, Skill Inspector helps surface patterns that could lead to misuse, data leakage, or unintended actions.
3. Bringing governance to AI capabilities - As skills become building blocks for AI systems, they need the same level of scrutiny as code dependencies. Skill Inspector helps teams validate and review skills before they’re used in production.
What to try today:
- Paste or load a skill into Skill Inspector and explore its analysis
- Review how it interprets the skill’s instructions and capabilities
- Look for flagged risks or unclear behaviors in the output
We’d love your feedback on how useful the analysis is for understanding skill behavior, what kinds of risks or insights you’d want surfaced, and how this could fit into your AI development or review workflow.
Try comparing multiple skills to see how their behavior differs then go ahead and integrate Snyk Agent Scan CLI into your CI, hooks, and other security integration points: https://github.com/snyk/agent-scan
Thanks for checking out Skill Inspector. We're excited to help bring more clarity and control to how AI systems are built 🚀

Who hunted Skill Inspector?
Skill Inspector was hunted by fmerian. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
