Installing npm modules seems similar as far as the risks go? The assumption is that you have a semi-trusted source of good libraries that's at least somewhat resistant to supply-chain attacks. A similar thing could in theory be done for well-known skills, but it requires a community norm of not releasing crap.

So it seems like the question is how do you build something worthy of people's trust?

It's exactly like npm packages. But it seems every time there's a new technology, we abandon the security practices that we had before...
