Combined with Snyk reporting that they found ~1500 malicious skills on such marketplaces (https://snyk.io/blog/toxicskills-malicious-ai-agent-skills-c...), I decided to build a library for doing skill scanning since Claude doesn't do it natively.

v0.1 of skillcop is an OSS wrapper around Claude Code for scanning malicious skills at invocation time.Skillcop integrates natively with Ollama for skill scanning, providing direct access to Gemma 3, GPT-OSS, GLM 4.7 Flash from the CLI.

Existing harnesses exist but don't quite get to this level of granular LLM-on-LLM scanning. Would love to get feedback and users from the community!

The second is gonna be a lot harder to enforce, as we soon (and probably already) don't know who we're talking to on the internet - a real person or someone's agent? Will calling spaces "human only" later be seen as discriminatory by agents? How will we actually enforce "human only" spaces? Will websites like HN start to provide an "agent only" discussion forum or filter in addition to the "human only" sections?

This article, covering elements of writing like content, language & grammar, style, and citations, is verbose and is intended for Wikipedia’s army of content editors.

Walls of text are boring. Games are more fun. I turned Wikipedia’s quiz into an interactive game. I failed miserably.

This made me think this was satire/ragebait. Most important relationship?!?

RIP, another one to the Google Graveyard.

Yes, we’re making this data not valuable by design, since it cannot be linked back to the originating user to report browsing history, etc.

I ended up using the “casino” analogy to describe the new feature. Same thing, different words. The security knowledge stack is so dense that it helps to embrace analogies when explaining concepts to customers.

By “blinding” ourselves, we’re signaling to users that we’re making their data invaluable for marketing, analytics, or third party sharing. Think the EU “Reject unnecessary cookies” banner but on steroids.

Sometimes this is necessary, but often it's not. This can lead to your data being collected unnecessarily - placing your full trust in the service provider.

I studied Cloudflare’s Privacy Pass framework and implemented a modified version of it in my application Ward. As a result, Ward users can no longer effectively be tracked or identified at the app level for most requests.

Would love to hear from others’ perspective, whether you’re an security expert or everyday user, on this approach.

The average consumer is more privacy conscious than we may think. It’s our hope that architectural decisions like this early can help build and gain user trust earlier, especially in B2C products.
