They help an AI agent understand which skill handles a task, how skills share outputs, and where the relevant files and configuration live.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Fable 5.1 $0.02095 $0.02095

Security

Grade C, and why

skills CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Downloads and executes remote codehighSupply chain

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

- Install: `curl -fsSL https://static.heygen.ai/cli/install.sh | bash`

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Two modes, in order of preference: MCP, then CLI. **Do not call `api.heygen.com` directly with curl.** The skills route through MCP or the CLI — never raw HTTP.

CLAUDE.md — HeyGen Skills

What This Is

The HeyGen Skills. Three independent, self-contained skills:

  • heygen-avatar — identity → avatar → voice. Output is reused by heygen-video.
  • heygen-video — idea → script → video. Consumes avatars from heygen-avatar.
  • heygen-translate — existing video → dubbed and lip-synced video in another language. Independent of the other two.

Each ships its own bundle of references so it installs cleanly via gh skill install, ClawHub, the OpenClaw plugin, or direct git clone.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
