After the Party: Governing What a Viral Agent-Skill Ecosystem Left Behind

A study of the OpenClaw AI agent skill registry revealed that a majority of skills were created in a short period, with the top 10% receiving 46.93% of downloads. The study found that simple skill features like size or download counts were not stable predictors of continued listing. The skills were largely unscrutinized, with 77.86% having zero stars and zero comments, and 85.06% containing privilege evidence. The security scanners disagreed on 23,702 skills, highlighting the need for robust and transparent measurement and independent validation to govern fast-growing agent-skill registries.
