Skill Constellations: Tracing the Supply Chain of Agent Skills on GitHub

The study examines how agent skills spread on GitHub, where skills are shared by copying SKILL.md files between repositories without a registry, versions, or provenance. The authors created the first dated copy network covering 2,193,119 skill adoptions and an interactive viewer. Some repositories are the source of almost all copies, and GitHub stars do not identify them.
