Flags flag:
Is there something to check before installing? any per skill.
| Tag | Skills | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| flag: | 0 | A copy of another publisher's skill under a different org. Each copy found had hundreds of thousands of installs while its original had fewer than twenty, so treat its ranking with caution. |
| flag: | 2 | The same publisher ships the skill under two sources, which splits its counts. |
| flag: | 8 | Legitimate uses exist, but the same capability can evade bot detection or investigate other people. Read the SKILL.md before installing. |
