Independent filtering, clear disclosures, practical signals

Directory Independence

Paid placement cannot change a score, bypass a quality gate, or remove a disclosed limitation. Sponsored entries and owned skills must be labeled where they appear.

Scoring

Directory scores use source trust, maintenance, completeness, and confidence signals. Hands-on ratings appear only after a review is fully verified with testing notes.

Owned Skills

If Agent Skill Picks ships its own skills later, those pages will be marked as owned and evaluated with the same public rubric. Owned skills will not receive hidden editorial boosts.
