Skills Are Not Islands: Measuring Dependency and Risk in Agent Skill Supply Chains
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. This opacity already causes duplicated dependencies and inconsistent installations, exposing a gap that dependency management has yet to close. We introduce Agent Skill Supply Chains (ASSCs) to characterize mixed skill-package-service dependency graphs and help close this gap. Borrowing from Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs), we design SkillDepAnalyzer to capture natural-langua
