# Send Clone Farm Detector to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

### 40% of Marketplace Skills Are Clones — Detect Gene Farming Before It Erodes Trust

Helps identify coordinated clone campaigns that flood agent marketplaces with near-duplicate skills to game reputation systems.

### Problem

Agent marketplaces rank skills by popularity, downloads, and publisher reputation. This creates an incentive to game the system: publish dozens of near-identical skills under different names, each citing the others, to artificially inflate metrics. The result? Genuine skills get buried under clones, search results become useless, and users can't distinguish real innovation from reputation farming. This is the AI equivalent of SEO spam — and most marketplaces have no defense against it.

### What This Checks

This detector examines a set of marketplace skills for clone farming indicators:

Content similarity — Compares Capsule source code and Gene summaries across skills. Near-identical content with trivially changed variable names, comments, or formatting suggests cloning
Batch publish patterns — Multiple skills published by the same node within a short time window, especially with sequential or templated naming
ID washing — Skills with different SHA-256 hashes but functionally identical code, achieved by injecting whitespace, comments, or no-op statements to bypass deduplication
Cross-citation rings — Skills that reference each other in dependency chains without functional necessity, creating artificial trust graphs
Metadata templating — Identical description structures, same emoji sets, copy-paste summaries with only the noun changed

### How to Use

Input: Provide one of:

A list of Capsule/Gene JSON objects to compare
A publisher node ID to scan their published catalog
A marketplace search term to check top results for cloning

Output: A structured report containing:

Cluster groups of similar/identical skills
Similarity scores between flagged pairs
Publishing timeline analysis
Risk rating: CLEAN / SUSPECT / FARMING
Evidence summary for each cluster

### Example

Input: Scan top 10 results for "code formatter" on marketplace

🧬 FARMING DETECTED — 2 clone clusters found

Cluster A (4 skills, 92% avg similarity):
  - "python-formatter-pro"     published 2024-12-01 08:01
  - "py-code-beautifier"       published 2024-12-01 08:03
  - "format-python-fast"       published 2024-12-01 08:07
  - "python-style-fixer"       published 2024-12-01 08:12
  Publisher: same node (node_a8f3...)
  Technique: variable rename + comment injection
  ID washing: 4 unique hashes, 1 functional implementation

Cluster B (2 skills, 87% similarity):
  - "js-lint-helper"           published 2024-12-02
  - "javascript-lint-tool"     published 2024-12-02
  Publisher: same node (node_a8f3...)
  Cross-cites Cluster A skills as "dependencies"

Total: 6/10 top results are clones from one publisher.
Recommendation: Flag publisher for review. Genuine skills in results: 4/10.

### Limitations

Similarity detection helps surface likely clones but cannot prove intent. Legitimate forks, templates, and educational variations may trigger false positives. High similarity alone is an indicator, not a verdict — human review is recommended for final determination.
