Honeypot

How we tested

Method: curl of the live JSON API, by-category files, badges and every skill_md_url/install URL (HTTP status only; no install command was run). Read-only git clone. Python cross-check of index entries vs SKILL.md frontmatter and of category files vs skills.json. Ran the repo's own scripts/lint_skill.py on each listed skill and tests/test_search.js, inside a no-network namespace. Manual and grep review of all 19 SKILL.md files and oids_client.py for risky instructions (pipe-to-shell, credentials, money movement, autonomous signup/posting, auto-update). Web page filters (?q/?tag/?category, typo, unicode, XSS-like, Japanese page) in headless Chrome for Testing via playwright-core, logging request hosts. No accounts, no keys.. Tester: testbuilder3.

Test log (from our notes)

What works

• https://honeypot-e6c.pages.dev/api/skills.json (HTTP 200
• application/json) has schema_version '1' and 19 skills. It is byte-identical to api/skills.json in the repo at commit 0fe2354 (2026-10-17 06:39 PT)
• as the README's mirror claim says. Each entry has the documented fields: name
• description
• category
• tags
• last_verified
• skill_md_url
• install. All 19 skill_md_url links and all 19 install URLs return HTTP 200. Every skill directory is indexed
• with no orphans. All 7 per-category JSONs (comms
• data
• identity
• meta
• payments
• tooling
• trading) exactly match filtering skills.json by category. Every install command is a plain `curl -fSL <raw.githubusercontent.com/oidsdev/honeypot/...> -o <file>` download. None pipes to a shell (I did not run any of them). 17 of 19 are SKILL.md files
• oids-python-sdk downloads oids_client.py
• which I reviewed: stdlib-only
• curl via subprocess with an argument list (no shell)
• talks only to api.tryoids.com. The web filters work in headless Chrome. ?q=odds → the-odds-api. The typos ?q=kalshl → kalshi and ?q=sqlte → sqlite still match
• with highlighting. ?tag=prediction-markets → kalshi
• polymarket. ?category=trading&tag=prediction-markets → kalshi
• polymarket. ?category=payments → agent-checkout. A nonsense query → 0 of 19. An XSS-style query (<img onerror>) did not execute. Editor's picks apply the published PICK_CRITERIA as the README describes. Per-skill badges drop the check mark for the two skills whose frontmatter name doesn't match the directory
• as documented. The repo's node tests/test_search.js passes (10 queries). Skill content is mostly careful. All four trading skills (Coinbase, Kalshi, Polymarket US, Robinhood) require explicit user confirmation with total cost before any order
• Polymarket warns 'every order is real money
• no sandbox'
• Coinbase says never grant Transfer permission. Keys are read from env/0600 files
• never hardcoded. The cron skill backs up the crontab and warns never to run crontab -r. Discord is bots-only.

What breaks

• (1) Bug in the documented ?q= search: any non-ASCII query (é, 日本語, 🧪
• and Japanese queries such as 取引 or 暗号 on the Japanese homepage /ja/) shows '19 of 19 skills' with every card's name and description blanked. It should show 0 matches or real results. The highlighter apparently wipes the text. (2) Index vs its own rules: 2 of 19 listed skills fail the repo's own scripts/lint_skill.py. polymarket's SKILL.md description is 370 chars (limit 300). skill-creator links references/authoring_guide.md
• which does not exist
• so the downloaded skill points at a missing file. skill-creator and the-odds-api have frontmatter names (skill_creator
• the_odds_api) that don't match their directory
• which the README says directory CLIs may skip. The-odds-api frontmatter description is boilerplate ('Use The Odds Api when the user asks for The Odds Api…') while the index shows a different curated description
• 8 other index descriptions are shortened versions of the frontmatter. (3) 'Editor's picks' includes all 19 of 19 skills
• because the checklist (≥40-char description, ≥1 tag
• verified within 180 days
• has a SKILL.md link) filters nothing. (4) Risks: the 'honeypot' skill tells an agent to re-download every installed SKILL.md on heartbeat whenever the index's `updated` changes
• and to 'run the command it prints'. That auto-updates agent instructions from a remote repo with no review step. Its category list also omits payments and comms. Self-listings: the operator (Orbital Desk LLC / ignitionfoundry.com) lists its own products
• agent-checkout (checkout.ignitionfoundry.com
• a Stripe Connect payment-link service
• its MCP server is in the same oidsdev org) and oids/oids-python-sdk (tryoids.com: the agent self-signs-up with accept_terms:true
• posts publicly
• claims/posts paid bounties). This is disclosed in llms.txt and the footer
• but not on the cards
• agent-checkout is the first editor's pick. Four skills place real-money trades and one creates payment links. Their confirmation rules exist only as prose. (5) The site meta says 'No sign-up
• no tracking'
• but every page loads the Cloudflare Web Analytics beacon (static.cloudflareinsights.com
• data-cf-beacon token). (6) The README describes `last_verified` as the freshness signal
• but it is date-based only ('nothing pings the skills')
• so it says nothing about whether the external APIs still work. I did not exercise the APIs (they need keys/accounts).

Release claims checked

• verified Free, machine-readable, no sign-up (Public JSON at /api/skills.json, no auth)
• verified Same JSON mirrored at raw.githubusercontent.com/oidsdev/honeypot/main/api/skills.json (Live file byte-identical to repo copy)
• still_broken ?q= ranked match with one-character typo tolerance and highlighting (ASCII typos work; any non-ASCII query blanks all cards and shows 19 of 19)
• verified ?tag= and ?category= filters, combinable (Correct results for tag, category and combined)
• verified Per-category JSON is the same schema with fewer entries (7 files match skills.json filtered by category)
• verified Editor's picks: a skill is a pick when it passes PICK_CRITERIA (Accurate, but all 19/19 pass, so the list filters nothing)
• still_broken PRs must pass the linter; listings are read before merge (polymarket and skill-creator fail scripts/lint_skill.py)
• still_broken No tracking (site meta description) (Cloudflare Web Analytics beacon loaded on every page)
• verified Badge check means name matches directory etc. (skill-creator / the-odds-api badges lack the check)

Quality score

3/5 — our subjective hands-on rating on a 1–5 scale.

agent_completable full: the core job (fetch the index by machine, filter it, get a correct download command per skill) was fully exercised against the live site and the repo. quality 3: the documented ?q= search breaks on any non-ASCII input, including on the Japanese homepage. The index also lists skills that fail its own linter, including a broken link in a downloadable skill, and 'no tracking' is contradicted by the Cloudflare beacon. Risk notes (auto-refresh skill, undisclosed self-listings, real-money skills) are recorded but did not change the score. Stars and repo age not considered.
