A new approach involves a skill registry, which complements scanners by providing version management, role-based access control, and audit logs. iFlytek's open-source Skillhub platform offers these registry capabilities, alongside official skill packages for speech recognition, OCR, and translation, aiming to establish trust and manageability in agent systems.
