upstream-skills

upstream-skills is a plugin for Claude Code from dinglebear-ai/dendrite. Its manifest loads nothing; the 11 skills it bundles cost 503 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A collection of skills copied from external open-source repositories and kept synchronized with those repositories. The input does not identify the specific skills included.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for maintaining vendored skills from the named upstream repositories. No more specific jobs can be confirmed from the input.
Why use it?
It can keep locally stored skills aligned with their upstream versions, but the available information does not describe how that synchronization works.

Security

Grade A, and why

upstream-skills scanned grade A with 0 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 2mo 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 11 skills travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 503 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

Changes

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.
