Privacy & Takedown

Short version: we only index publicly available skill definitions from GitHub. We don't track you. If you want your content removed, email us and we'll do it.

What we index

OpenSkillIndex crawls public GitHub repositories for files that look like agentic-AI skill definitions — SKILL.md, OpenClaw manifests, and similar patterns under MIT/Apache/BSD/ISC-compatible licenses. For each indexed skill we store the raw content, its source URL, the repository path, a content hash, and public metadata from the GitHub API (stars, author, last modified date).

Every detail page shows the source URL and content hash so you can always verify what we indexed against the upstream file.

What we don't do

• We don't use trackers, analytics cookies, or third-party scripts.
• We don't collect personal information from visitors — no accounts, no emails.
• We don't crawl private repositories, marketplaces that forbid scraping in their ToS, or anything behind a login wall.
• We don't sell the index, the raw data, or any derivative.

Server logs

Our reverse proxy (nginx) keeps standard access logs containing IP address, user agent, and request path for operational purposes (abuse prevention, debugging). Logs rotate and are purged within 14 days. They are not shared.

Takedown & opt-out

If you are the author of a skill and want it removed, or you own a repository you'd like excluded, email support@openskillindex.com with:

• The skill URL(s) on openskillindex.com, or the upstream repo/path, or the content hash.
• A short note confirming you're the owner or acting on their behalf.

We act on every good-faith request within 72 hours. Takedown marks the skill inactive immediately; it will no longer appear in search, the API, RSS, or the sitemap, and a future re-crawl will not re-ingest it.

To block the entire crawler from your repo, return HTTP 4xx to our user agent OpenSkillIndexBot/1.0, or see the opt-out instructions on the bot page.

DMCA

If you believe a skill on this index infringes your copyright, send a DMCA notice to the same email above, including the standard DMCA elements (identification of the work, identification of the infringing material, your contact info, a good-faith statement, a statement under penalty of perjury, and your signature). We'll take it down on receipt and forward the notice to the upstream hoster.

Security

Found a vulnerability? Email support@openskillindex.com and give us a reasonable window to patch before disclosure. Thanks.
