What is a media agent skill?
It is a reusable instruction package that teaches an AI agent a focused media & files workflow, often including commands, checks, and supporting resources.
Which media skill should I try first?
Start with a narrow task you already understand. The current category leader is Ontology, but requirements and access scope matter more than rank alone.
Does a popular skill mean it is safe?
No. Popularity reflects adoption and interest, not a security guarantee. Read SKILL.md, review commands and dependencies, and test with minimal permissions.
