Skillproof

Ask whether a Claude Code skill actually works — before you install it.

GitHub has tens of thousands of SKILL.md files. Almost none have been run by anyone but their author. SkillProof installs them from their repo, triggers them, and runs them on a real task against a no-skill baseline. This MCP server puts those verdicts in your agent's hands.

> is there a tested skill for converting markdown to Confluence?

## Confluence — DIDN'T PASS — scored below the no-skill baseline
What our test found: Ran the bundled convert_markdown_to_wiki.py on a real sample doc: it silently
turns **bold** text into wiki _italic_ (a genuine regex bug), and leaves standard GitHub-style tables
completely unconverted, despite SKILL.md listing "tables" among the elements it handles.

That is the whole point. A directory that only lists winners tells you nothing.

Tools

Every answer carries one of three verdicts:

• pass — installed, triggered, and beat the no-skill baseline on a real task.
• setup — works, but needs a manual step first (the notes say which).
• didn't pass — scored below the no-skill baseline: it either couldn't run, or left you worse off than not installing it.

If nothing has been tested for your job, the server says so instead of guessing. "Not tested" is a real answer.

Install

Claude Code:

claude mcp add skillproof -- npx -y skillproof-mcp

Or add it to your MCP config by hand:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillproof": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "skillproof-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Works in any MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed). Node 18+. No API key, no account.

Where the data comes from

The server reads the live catalog at skillproof.dev/api/skills.json and caches it for 15 minutes. Nothing is bundled, so verdicts are never stale. The scoring rubric — install /5, triggering /5, output-vs-baseline /10, docs /5 — is published at skillproof.dev/methodology.

Catalog data is CC BY 4.0: use it, cite skillproof.dev.
