# ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (V3) --- ## 🔒 Security & Trust ### Q: What do the Risk Labels mean? - ⚪ **Safe (White/Blue)**: Read-only, planning, or benign skills. Safe to run anywhere. - 🔴 **Risk (Red)**: Skills that modify files, delete resources, or perform security scans. **Use with caution.** - 🟣 **Official (Purple)**: Maintained by trusted vendors (Anthropic, DeepMind, etc.). ### Q: Can these skills hack my computer? **No.** Skills are just text files (markdown instructions). However, they _instruct_ the AI to run commands. If a skill says "delete all files", your AI might try to do it. _Always review the code before creating a skill, and check the Risk label._ --- ## 📦 Installation & Usage ### Q: Why shouldn't I just copy all files? You can! But 250+ files might clutter your context window. We recommend using **Starter Packs** (`docs/BUNDLES.md`) to install only what you need for your specific role. ### Q: Does this work with Windows? **Yes**, but some "Official" skills use **symlinks** which Windows handles poorly by default. Run git with: `git clone -c core.symlinks=true ...` Or enable "Developer Mode" in Windows Settings. --- ## 🛠️ Contribution ### Q: My PR failed "Quality Bar" check. Why? V3 introduces automated quality control. Your skill might be missing: 1. A valid `description` in the metadata. 2. Usage examples. Or it might be triggering a security filter. Run `python3 scripts/validate_skills.py` locally to see the error. ### Q: Can I update an "Official" skill? **No.** Official skills (in `skills/official/`) are mirrored from vendors. Open an issue instead, and we will forward it to the maintainers.
