## What verified means

We check every skill and agent before it’s listed. It must be instructions only, with no code that runs on your machine. We scan it for hidden instructions and leaked keys, a person reviews anything we flag, and we confirm the license.

Every listing shows answers from two models with and without it, side by side, exactly as written.
