Compare two AI tools side by side
Put any two skills or MCP servers next to each other: risk grade, what each can access, how popular it is, and how to install it.
| What | gen-chart | agent-skills |
|---|---|---|
| Risk grade | DD · High risk signals Based on public adoption and transparency signals as of Oct 21, 2026.

| Type | AI agent skill | AI agent skill |
| Est. context load | ~50 tokens idle · ~950 tokens when active (on-demand skill) | ~50 tokens idle · ~450 tokens when active (on-demand skill) |
| GitHub stars | 2 | 112k |
| Weekly npm downloads | — | — |
| Local files | No local folder access noted | Reads & writes local folders |
| Command execution | No shell command runner noted | Runs shell or system commands |
| Network reach | Local or standard API calls | Connects to outside service API |
| Credentials | No API token required | Requires API key or token |
| Package source | GitHub (gen-chart/gen-chart) | GitHub (addyosmani/agent-skills) |
| Install command | Source repo only | Source repo only |
| Bottom line | Signal-based grade (1/7 points): public source code. This reflects adoption and transparency, not a code review. | agent-skills (agent skill) requires careful permission scoping — code execution scope: Skills may grant agents broad filesystem, shell, or package management permissions—verify principle-of-least-privilege scoping before production use |
