Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: May 1, 2026

This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) sets out what you may and may not do on ClaudeSkill. It applies to every user, every Skill submission, and every interaction with our APIs and infrastructure. Violations may result in content removal, account suspension, or termination, and — where appropriate — referral to law enforcement.

1. What we want from you

ClaudeSkill exists to help builders discover and share useful AI agent Skills. Submit work that is yours to share, label it accurately, link to a real source repository, and treat other users with the respect you would expect in a professional engineering community.

2. Prohibited content

You may not submit, host, or link to content that:

  • Contains malware, ransomware, spyware, key-loggers, cryptominers, credential-stealers, or any code primarily designed to damage, disable, or surreptitiously access systems or data.
  • Is designed to enable phishing, social engineering, or unauthorised access to accounts or networks.
  • Infringes copyright, trademark, patent, trade-secret, or other intellectual-property rights of any party.
  • Sexualises, exploits, or endangers minors in any form, including AI-generated material.
  • Promotes terrorism, organised violent extremism, or the glorification of mass atrocities.
  • Contains threats, harassment, hate speech targeting protected characteristics, doxxing, or non-consensual intimate imagery.
  • Is defamatory, fraudulent, deceptive, or constitutes false advertising.
  • Provides instructions for synthesising weapons (including biological, chemical, radiological, nuclear, or conventional weapons capable of mass harm).
  • Provides actionable how-tos for hacking specific identified targets, evading law enforcement, or facilitating crimes against identifiable persons.
  • Violates applicable export-control or sanctions law.
  • Is spam, low-effort filler, AI-generated regurgitation, or duplicate content created primarily to game search ranking.

3. Prohibited conduct

You may not:

  • Scrape, crawl, mass-download, or otherwise abuse the Service beyond the limits documented for our public APIs.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive credentials, tokens, or non-public configuration.
  • Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service or any related system without prior written authorisation. (See our Security & Responsible Disclosure page for the proper channel.)
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service, including via denial-of-service or amplification attacks.
  • Bypass authentication, rate limits, geographic restrictions, or technical protections.
  • Misrepresent your identity, impersonate a person or organisation, or claim a false affiliation.
  • Manipulate ratings, stars, install counts, follows, or any other ranking signal — including by using multiple accounts or automation.
  • Harass other users, including via mass-reporting, retaliatory flagging, or coordinated brigading.
  • Use the Service to store, distribute, or process unlawful content on behalf of third parties.

4. Skill submission rules

  • The repository you link to must reasonably correspond to the Skill's description. Misleading wrappers around unrelated repos will be removed.
  • Skills must include a SKILL.md or equivalent document that accurately describes what the Skill does and what tools it expects the agent to have.
  • Do not submit other people's code under your own name. If you fork or adapt, attribute and link the upstream.
  • Do not embed marketing for unrelated products or services in Skill metadata or README excerpts.

5. Reporting violations

Use the “Report” affordance on a Skill or profile, or email info@claudeskil.com. For copyright complaints, follow the DMCA & Copyright procedure. For security vulnerabilities, follow Security & Responsible Disclosure.

Include in your report:

  • The URL of the offending content.
  • A short description of the issue (what rule, what harm).
  • Any evidence (screenshots, logs, identifying information).

6. Enforcement

We use a combination of automated heuristics, community reports, and human review. Depending on the severity, our response may include any of:

  • Removing or hiding specific content.
  • Restricting features (e.g. limiting submissions or follows).
  • Issuing a warning.
  • Suspending or terminating an account.
  • Reporting to law enforcement when legally required.

We aim to be proportionate and to give a chance to respond where it is safe to do so, but we may act without warning where there is risk of imminent harm or legal exposure.

7. Appeals

If your content was removed or your account was actioned and you believe it was a mistake, reply to the enforcement email with “Appeal” in the subject. Provide a brief explanation and any context. A reviewer who was not involved in the original decision will re-evaluate the action.

8. Changes

We may update this AUP as new abuse patterns emerge. Material changes will be flagged on the homepage and the “Last updated” date will change.
