Reliability & compatibility
Declared compatibility
Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

Secure by Design — Skill Entry
This SKILL.md is the entrypoint for the Secure by Design skill.
The skill synthesizes the UK Government Secure by Design Principles (10 principles) and the Australian ASD/ACSC Secure by Design Foundations (6 foundations) into structured, machine-readable references that an agent can query to identify, assess, and improve adherence to secure-by-design practices across the software lifecycle.
