arXiv:2608. 08139v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Establishing the provenance of a language model---including its base checkpoint and possible overlap in training distributions---is a governance challenge that metadata alone cannot resolve.

arXiv:2606. 00448v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM agents increasingly rely on community-contributed skills that expand an agent's operational capability set.

arXiv:2608. 05204v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-agent ecosystems are rapidly growing around reusable skills: mixed-modality packages of metadata, natural-language instructions, code, tools, references, and operational workflows.

arXiv:2606. 15899v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Open-source LLM agent ecosystems are growing rapidly, yet the security of community-contributed skills - modular tool definitions that extend agent capabilities - remains largely unvetted.

arXiv:2407. 10887v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Growing concerns over the theft and misuse of Large Language Models (LLMs) underscore the need for effective fingerprinting to link a model to its original version and detect misuse.

arXiv:2602. 06547v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLM-based coding agents increasingly rely on third-party extensions called skills, which bundle natural language instructions and helper scripts that execute with full user privileges.

arXiv:2606. 01494v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agent skills extend AI agents with reusable instructions, tools, scripts, references, and workflows, establishing a security boundary distinct from both model safety and traditional package-malware detection.

arXiv:2608. 04192v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Closed source agent skills may encode proprietary instructions, scripts, constants, and data.

arXiv:2604. 06550v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Agent skills combine natural-language instructions with executable code while inheriting an agent's filesystem, credential, and network access.
By Yinghan Hou, Zongyou Yang
arXiv:2607. 01136v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agent skills package reusable operational knowledge for Large Language Model (LLM) agents, yet as they grow in scope, they become dependency-bearing artifacts whose identities, versions, and provenance remain implicit.

arXiv:2607. 10113v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model agents increasingly store reusable procedures outside the model.
