stackoverflow

stackoverflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 0xmariowu/Autosearch. It costs 22 tokens per session (368 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A search connector for Stack Overflow, a question-and-answer site about programming. It retrieves community answers and technical discussions across more than 200 programming tags.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for debugging, API usage questions, code-level implementation details, and technical reference searches.
Why use it?
It helps find concrete solutions to coding errors and implementation questions, including approaches other developers have used in real projects.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

stackoverflow 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (methods/api_search.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 actually says

Overview

Stack Overflow provides high-signal programming Q&A, code-level troubleshooting, API usage guidance, and technical reference material via the public Stack Exchange API. It is especially valuable when the query is about concrete errors, implementation details, or how practitioners resolved a specific development problem in production code.

Known Quirks

  • Unauthenticated requests are limited to roughly 300 requests per day per IP, so this channel uses a conservative rate limit.
  • The request must include filter=withbody or the API omits body_markdown, which makes evidence snippets much less useful.
  • Because unauthenticated quota is IP-scoped, parallel E2B or shared-runner executions can collide even when one local run is well behaved.

Quality Bar

  • Evidence items have non-empty title and url.
  • No crash on empty or malformed API response.
  • Source channel field matches the channel name.
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
