Question 1

Can I use the same verified skill in Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini CLI without rewriting it?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that's the core of the Equip pillar. SkillzBench provides one MCP server plus per-agent loadouts, so you toggle the same verified skill on for each agent and the agent only sees what you selected. No rebuilding the same SKILL.md workflow per tool.

Question 2

How does SkillzBench tell me whether a skill actually improves my agent's output?

Accepted Answer

The Benchmark pillar tests every skill in a sandbox using the same model, running the task with and without the skill, then publishes the Lift in percentage points. Lift is always shown separately from trust scores and ratings, and money never touches scores.

Question 3

What about security risks in skills I find on GitHub?

Accepted Answer

Published research found roughly of skills carry at least one vulnerability. SkillzBench's Verify pillar pins every version to a commit SHA, then validates, license-checks, security-scans and quality-judges it. A 0-100 trust score combines security, quality, license, maintenance and community signals so you can judge risk before adopting.

Question 4

Is SkillzBench available now, and what will it cost as a student?

Accepted Answer

SkillzBench is pre-launch and actively being built — the waitlist and newsletter are live today, and the product itself is not yet public. The pricing hypothesis includes a generous free tier, with a Pro tier around $9-15/month for more agents and unlimited enabled skills, so students should be able to get real value without paying.

Question 5

How is this different from just browsing GitHub for agent skills myself?

Accepted Answer

GitHub gives you raw, unverified SKILL.md files with no quality signal. SkillzBench dedupes skills crawled from GitHub, pins each version to a commit SHA, security-scans and license-checks it, benchmarks it with the same model to publish Lift, and then lets you deploy it via one MCP server with per-agent loadouts — plus it tracks upstream changes and re-benchmarks automatically.
