Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) and localskills.sh (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the localskills.sh website, application programming interfaces (“APIs”), command-line interface tool (“CLI”), and all related services (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE.

1. Description of Service

localskills.sh is a platform that enables users to create, publish, discover, install, and manage agent skills and rules (“Skills”) for AI-assisted development tools, including but not limited to Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf. The Service includes:

• A web-based marketplace for browsing and publishing Skills;
• A CLI tool (localskills) for installing Skills directly into your development environment;
• APIs for programmatic access to the platform;
• Team and organization management features, including role-based access control; and
• Enterprise features such as SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, and OIDC trust policies.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least sixteen (16) years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and “you” shall refer to both you individually and the organization.

3. Account Registration and Security

3.1 Account Creation. To access certain features of the Service, you must create an account by authenticating through a supported third-party OAuth provider (currently Google). You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration.

3.2 Account Security. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, API tokens, and session tokens. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your account. We shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account credentials.

3.3 API Tokens. API tokens issued through the Service grant programmatic access to your account. You are responsible for safeguarding all tokens and revoking any that may have been compromised. Tokens should be stored securely and never committed to public version control repositories.

3.4 One Account Per Person. Each individual may maintain only one account. Creation of multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions, manipulate analytics, or abuse the platform constitutes a violation of these Terms.

4. User Content

4.1 Ownership. You retain all intellectual property rights in the Skills, rules, configuration files, and other content you create and publish through the Service (“User Content”). These Terms do not transfer ownership of your User Content to us.

4.2 License Grant to Us. By submitting User Content to the Service, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute your User Content solely as necessary to operate, maintain, and provide the Service. This license continues for as long as your User Content remains on the platform and terminates when you delete it, subject to reasonable backup and caching periods.

4.3 License Grant to Other Users. When you publish a Skill with “public” or “unlisted” visibility, you grant other users a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to download, install, and use that Skill in their development environments as intended by the platform. You may specify additional licensing terms within your Skill’s content or metadata.

4.4 Representations. You represent and warrant that: (a) you own or have the necessary rights and licenses to submit your User Content; (b) your User Content does not infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights; and (c) your User Content does not contain malicious code, backdoors, undisclosed data exfiltration mechanisms, or any component designed to cause harm to users or their systems.

4.5 Content Limits. Individual Skill content is limited to 512 KB per version. We reserve the right to adjust these limits at any time with reasonable notice.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Publish Skills containing malware, trojans, keyloggers, credential harvesters, cryptocurrency miners, or any code designed to compromise the security or integrity of a user’s system;
• Publish Skills that exfiltrate, collect, or transmit user data without clear and prominent disclosure;
• Impersonate any person, entity, or organization, or misrepresent your affiliation therewith;
• Circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the Service, including rate limiting, authentication mechanisms, or access controls;
• Use automated means (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access the Service in a manner that exceeds reasonable use or imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure;
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the Service, except as expressly permitted by applicable law;
• Artificially inflate download counts, manipulate analytics, or engage in any form of metric fraud;
• Transmit content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, threatening, or otherwise objectionable; or
• Violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation.

6. Teams and Organizations

6.1 Team Accounts. The Service allows creation of team workspaces (“Teams”) with role-based access control. The Team owner is responsible for managing membership, permissions, and ensuring compliance with these Terms by all Team members.

6.2 Enterprise Features. Teams may configure SAML Single Sign-On (SSO), SCIM user provisioning, and OIDC trust policies. Configuration and management of these features is the responsibility of the Team administrator. We are not liable for misconfiguration of identity provider settings, certificate expiration, or provisioning errors originating from your identity provider.

6.3 Audit Logs. Team activity is logged for security and compliance purposes. Audit logs are retained for ninety (90) days from the date of the logged event, after which they are automatically and permanently deleted.

7. CLI Tool

The localskills CLI tool is distributed for the purpose of installing and managing Skills in your local development environment. The CLI authenticates via a device authorization flow or API token. By using the CLI, you agree to these Terms. Credentials stored locally by the CLI (in ~/.config/localskills/config.json) are your responsibility to protect.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, user interface, logos, trademarks, and documentation (excluding User Content), is owned by us and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in the Service beyond the limited right to use it in accordance with these Terms.

9. Content Moderation and Removal

9.1 Right to Remove. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to review, monitor, or remove User Content at our sole discretion, for any reason, including but not limited to violation of these Terms, reports of malicious content, or legal requirements.

9.2 DMCA and Takedown Requests. If you believe that User Content on the Service infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, you may submit a takedown request via GitHub. We will respond to valid requests in accordance with applicable law.

9.3 Account Suspension and Termination. We may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms.

11. Rate Limiting and Fair Use
