Feat: Introduce 'Skill-as-Standard' metadata schema for compliance mapping (MITRE/NIST) and automated audit trails #556

Description

@FenjuFu

Motivation

The current open-source landscape is shifting from generic agent frameworks to vertical, compliant, and standardized skill assets.

Two repositories trending today highlight this:

  1. mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills (19k stars) demonstrates the massive demand for skills that map directly to MITRE ATT&CK and NIST CSF 2.0 frameworks. It proves that "Skills are reliable assets" when they carry industry-standard metadata, enabling enterprises to quantify security posture.
  2. calesthio/OpenMontage (12k stars) showcases the power of end-to-end vertical pipelines. However, its scalability relies on the underlying skills being robust and auditable.

As an enterprise skill registry, SkillHub is currently strong on versioning and RBAC, but lacks a standardized "Compliance Metadata" layer. Without this, skills remain "black boxes" for regulated industries (Finance, Healthcare, Gov) that need to prove how a skill behaves against specific standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2) before execution.

Proposed feature

Add a "Standard Compliance Mapping" module to the SkillHub schema and UI:

  1. Schema Extension: Add a compliance field in SKILL.md or skill.yaml allowing authors to tag skills with standard frameworks (e.g., MITRE-T1059, GDPR-Article-17).
  2. UI Integration:
    • In the Skill Detail page, display a "Compliance Badge" section showing mapped standards.
    • Add a filter in the Search/Discovery view to filter skills by compliance standard (e.g., "Show only SOC2-compliant skills").
  3. Audit Enhancement: When a skill with compliance tags is invoked via Astron Agent, log the specific compliance version used in the execution trace, enabling automated audit reports.

Why it fits this repo

This directly leverages SkillHub's core value proposition: "Self-hosted, open-source agent skill registry for enterprises."

By adding compliance mapping, SkillHub transforms from a simple "npm for skills" into a Governance Platform. This aligns with the trending insight that "Prompt is unstable, Skills are reliable"—and adds the crucial enterprise layer of "Skills are auditable."
