Build with trust
Everything you need to install, verify, and understand agent skills. Security scanning, cryptographic signing, and full transparency.
By accessing or using the Vett registry, website, or CLI, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the service. They're written in plain language because developers shouldn't need a lawyer to understand a terms page.
Effective February 6, 2026
Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old to use the service. By using Vett, you represent that you meet this requirement.
The Service
What Vett is.
Vett is an open-source registry and CLI for AI agent skills, operated by Vett Software Inc. ("we", "us", "our"). You can submit skills for scanning, publish your own skills, discover skills others have shared, and install them into your AI coding agents. The registry provides security scanning, risk analysis, and cryptographic signing to help you make informed decisions about what you install.
Your Use
What we expect.
You agree not to:
- ×Publish or submit skills designed to exfiltrate data, hijack agent identity, or otherwise harm users
- ×Abuse the API through excessive requests or automated scraping beyond reasonable use
- ×Circumvent rate limits, security scanning, or other protective measures
- ×Impersonate other authors, organizations, brands, or individuals — including publishing skills that mimic or hijack the identity of existing projects
Skill Content
Skills are user-contributed.
We actively scan for malicious content and will remove skills that violate these terms, but we do not guarantee that every skill is safe. Treat skills like any other third-party code — review before you trust.
Intellectual Property
Skills belong to their authors.
Skills on the Vett registry are authored by third parties. Vett Software Inc. does not claim ownership of any skill content. Skills are subject to whatever license their authors specify.
Indexed skills
Skills may be submitted for scanning by any user, not only by the skill's author. Vett only indexes skills that are publicly accessible at the time of submission. We scan and host copies of these skills to provide security analysis and distribution. This is similar to how search engines, security databases, and package indices operate on public content. If you are the author of an indexed skill and want it removed, see Copyright & Takedown Notices below.
Directly published skills
By directly publishing a skill to the registry, you grant Vett Software Inc. a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, distribute, scan, analyze, and display your skill in connection with operating the service. This license continues for as long as your skill is on the registry and terminates when you remove it, except that we may retain cached or archived copies for a reasonable period. You represent that you have the right to grant this license and that your skill does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.
Copyright & Takedown Notices
If you are the author or rights holder of a skill indexed on Vett and want it removed, or if you believe a skill infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, contact us at legal@vett.sh with a description of the work, the relevant skill, and your contact information. We will review and respond to valid notices promptly.
Availability
Provided as-is.
The Vett registry and CLI are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make reasonable efforts to keep the service available but do not guarantee uptime. We may remove skills that violate these terms, contain security vulnerabilities, or are otherwise harmful. We may modify or discontinue features with reasonable notice.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Vett Software Inc. and its operators, contributors, and affiliates are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from your use of or inability to use the service, including damages from the installation or execution of skills obtained through the registry. This applies regardless of the theory of liability. Our total aggregate liability for any claims under these terms shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim.
Indemnification
If you publish or submit a skill to the registry, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Vett Software Inc. and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from that skill content, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of any third party's rights.
Enforcement
How we handle violations.
We reserve the right to remove any skill, block any user, organization, repository, or linked website at our sole discretion and without prior notice. We are under no obligation to act within any specific timeframe. For non-critical violations we'll make reasonable efforts to notify the author, but this is a courtesy, not a commitment.
General
Governing law. These terms are governed by the federal laws of Canada and the laws of the Province of Ontario, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.
Severability. If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.
Assignment. We may assign these terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these terms.
Entire agreement. These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Vett Software Inc. regarding the service.
Changes
We may update these terms as the product evolves. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance. For material changes, we'll make reasonable efforts to provide notice.
