Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: April 22, 2026

1. Purpose

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") sets out rules for content you submit to FindSkills and behavior on the Service. It supplements our Terms of Service.

2. Submission Rules

• Only submit GitHub repositories you authored or have clear rights to submit.
• The repository must be public. Private repositories are rejected.
• The project must be a genuine AI agent skill, MCP server, tool, or library. No placeholder repos, empty shells, or spam.
• Names, descriptions, tags, and categories must be accurate and not misleading. No SEO keyword stuffing.
• You must respect the original repository's license. Do not re-submit another author's project as your own.

3. Prohibited Content

• Malware, cryptominers, credential stealers, data exfiltration tools disguised as utilities.
• Content that infringes third-party intellectual property, including trademarks and copyrights. See the DMCA policy.
• Content that violates applicable law, including illegal goods, CSAM, or non-consensual content.
• Harassment, hate speech, or targeted abuse.
• Deceptive, fraudulent, or impersonating projects.
• Content that primarily exists to promote a competing directory or commercial service without providing genuine agent skill utility.

4. Prohibited Behavior

• Attempting to bypass authentication, authorization, or rate limits.
• Automated account creation or multi-accounting.
• Vote manipulation, artificial inflation of statistics, or any scheme to game ranking.
• Scraping at rates exceeding the published limits, or scraping via multiple IPs to aggregate beyond your limit.
• Any activity designed to interfere with other users, degrade the Service, or compromise its security.

5. Moderation and Enforcement

• We may remove content or suspend accounts at our discretion, with or without notice.
• First-time minor violations typically receive a warning and content removal.
• Serious violations (malware, IP infringement, harassment) result in immediate account ban.
• Repeat violations result in permanent ban.
