How does Skillspace rate Context window & token budget skills?
Skillspace grades every Context window & token budget skill from A to F with a published scoring engine that reads the skill's SKILL.md: architecture and maturity make the score, and a security scan can cap it. In crowded categories, a judge model also compares the strongest contenders side by side, and some skills are tested head-to-head on real tasks against other skills in the same category (including a deliberately weak one) and a no-skill baseline. Launch-quality skills are graded A to C with a clean safety verdict, and not excluded by a quality filter: the filters catch skills our model's safety screen flags for prompt injection, guardrail bypass, harmful content or credential exposure; test fixtures and attack benchmarks; skills written only for the repository they live in; templates and stubs; and near-duplicate variants and copies of other skills. Ratings were last updated on 24 September 2026; the full method is on the methodology page.
Are Context window & token budget skills safe to install?
Of the 422 Context window & token budget skills Skillspace rates, 403 passed its safety scan with no flag from its model, and 19 are flagged: 3 for review, 7 as risky, 8 as unsafe and 1 as an attack benchmark.

A pass is not a guarantee: the scan reads only the skill's SKILL.md, not the scripts or other files it ships, and looks for patterns such as piping a remote script into a shell, reading credentials or hiding actions from the user.
