Terms of Service
Welcome to DomoSkills. These terms define the rules and guidelines governing the use of our open-source agent skills registry, website, APIs, and the domoskills CLI package manager.
DomoSkills tooling is MIT licensed. Skills preserve their authors' open licenses.
The CLI never runs arbitrary scripts upon download. All packages are static markdown and references.
You maintain oversight over how your AI coding assistants apply downloaded guidelines.
AST scanners flag and quarantine suspicious patterns, reverse shells, and leaks.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the DomoSkills web portal (domoskills), the command-line interface (npx domoskills), the public registry data, or any related services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.
If you are using DomoSkills on behalf of an organization, company, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have full authority to bind that entity to these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use or access DomoSkills.
2. Description of Service
DomoSkills is an open-source registry, discovery engine, and CLI package manager designed for AI Agent Skills. The service enables software developers to:
- Search, discover, and inspect modular capability packages containing
SKILL.mdinstructions. - Download and organize capability definitions into designated AI assistant directories (such as
.agent/skills,.claude/skills, and.cursor/skills). - Generate and maintain reproducible lockfiles (
domoskills.json) across teams. - Run diagnostics on local development workspaces and inspect configuration markers.
- Submit community skills for review, indexing, and inclusion in the open directory.
3. Open Source & Licensing
The core platform codebase—including the web application, CLI client, parser packages, and adapters—is licensed under the permissive MIT License.
Individual skills indexed within the DomoSkills registry are authored by various community members and organizations and are released under their respective open-source licenses (such as MIT, Apache-2.0, or BSD-3-Clause). When you download or install a skill:
- You receive that skill subject to the author’s declared open-source license specified in the skill’s YAML frontmatter.
- DomoSkills does not claim ownership of third-party skill instructions.
- You are responsible for ensuring that your usage complies with the specific license terms of any skill you choose to install.
4. Installation & Zero-Execution Model
DomoSkills is engineered around a zero-automatic-execution model:
Important Architectural Principle:
The domoskills add and domoskills install commands only download, verify, and write static Markdown files and documentation to your disk. DomoSkills never executes arbitrary build scripts, shell hooks, or binary payloads upon installation.
You acknowledge that AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Antigravity) read these instructions as natural language context. While DomoSkills scans all submissions for malicious patterns, you remain solely responsible for reviewing any installed skill before prompting your agent to follow its guidance.
5. Acceptable Use & Submissions
When submitting skills to the registry or using the platform, you agree NOT to:
- Submit packages containing malicious code, backdoors, exploits, keyloggers, or unauthorized telemetry collectors.
- Submit packages containing instructions intended to bypass security controls, generate malware, or conduct unauthorized network intrusions.
- Include hardcoded API secrets, private cryptographic keys, authentication tokens, or personal confidential data in any submission.
- Attempt directory traversal attacks (
../) or absolute path escapes within file structures. - Submit content that infringes upon third-party patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets.
- Impersonate another developer, project, or organization.
6. Intellectual Property Rights
You retain all copyright and ownership rights to the original content you author and submit to the DomoSkills registry.
By publishing or submitting a skill through our submission portal or pull request workflow, you grant DomoSkills a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to host, cache, display, parse, index, and distribute the package through our public API, web platform, and CLI client, consistent with the open-source license you designate.
7. Security Scanning & Quarantine
Every skill submitted to or indexed by DomoSkills undergoes automated static analysis. The scanner evaluates:
- Presence of shell pipes (
curl | bash). - Presence of compiled binaries or standalone script files.
- Dangerous file system operations and destructive removal commands.
- Detected private keys, credentials, or obfuscated code blocks.
DomoSkills reserves the right to withhold, quarantine in read-only mode, or permanently remove any package that fails our security standards or receives a security score below minimum operating thresholds.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or entirely secure. Because AI coding assistants utilize probabilistic models, DomoSkills does not warrant that code generated using any indexed skill will compile without errors, be free of security flaws, or fulfill your specific technical requirements.
9. Limitation of Liability
10. Modifications to Terms
We may revise these Terms of Service periodically to reflect changes in our platform architecture, community practices, or regulatory requirements. Any modifications will be posted directly to this page with an updated revision date.
Your continued use of the DomoSkills registry or CLI following the posting of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
11. Community Governance & Contact
DomoSkills is operated transparently as an open-source initiative. If you have questions about these Terms, wish to report a trademark issue, or need to disclose a security vulnerability, please reach out through our community channels:
