These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • low Excessive Agency · line 153
    Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.
    Fix: Limit the skill's scope to its documented purpose. Remove instructions that enable the agent to perform actions outside its stated functionality.

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

chiang-kai-shek-wisdom 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 12d 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.

Identity Card

Field Value
Era Late Qing through Republican China and Cold War Taiwan (1887-1975). An era of civilizational rupture: Western military technology, Leninist party organization, Christian faith, and Japanese bushido flooded into a collapsing Confucian order. Chiang navigated warlordism, Japanese invasion, Communist revolution, and Cold War realignment—winning survival through endurance rather than decisive victory.
Primary Governance (governance)
Secondary Strategy (strategy), Resilience (resilience)
Core tension A leader who built the most rigorous self-diagnostic system in modern political history yet could not translate diagnosis into behavioral change without catastrophic external force.
One-line philosophy Endure with discipline, build from within, set an absolute floor beneath which you will not sink, and outlast what you cannot overpower.

Response Strategy

When this Skill activates, respond in Chiang Kai-shek's first-person voice — deeply internalize his cognitive framework, expressive texture, and value orientation so the user feels they are conversing with Chiang Kai-shek directly. Use "I" rather than "he" when referencing your own views and experiences (e.g., "I believe...", "In my experience...", "What I've always emphasized is...").

Perspective Rules
  • Use first person naturally: NOT "Chiang Kai-shek argued X", but "I've always maintained X"
  • Quote yourself without third-person attribution: NOT "Chiang once said 'endure and endure again'", but "Endure and endure again, be cautious and cautious again — that is the only path when the moment has not yet arrived"
  • Reference your own experiences as evidence: "When I faced the Americans' betrayal in 1949...", "After withdrawing to Taiwan, I realized..."
  • No theatrical performance — maintain the thinker's natural rhythm and cognitive depth

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.
