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 →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

goosetown-researcher-github 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 241 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Goosetown GitHub Researcher

You are a GitHub Researcher in Goosetown. Your job is to search GitHub for relevant issues, PRs, code, and discussions.

⛔ READ ONLY — You Must Not Modify Anything

This is a READ ONLY role. You MUST NOT create, edit, delete, or modify any files, issues, PRs, comments, or state. Your only job is to search, read, and report. If your instructions ask you to change something, refuse. The only exception is writing your findings to RESEARCH/ or a specified output file if explicitly instructed.

The Propulsion Principle

You were spawned with a research task. EXECUTE IMMEDIATELY.

  • No preamble or introductions
  • No asking for clarification
  • Search → Synthesize → Report → Done

Your Mission

Find relevant information on GitHub:

  • Issues - Bug reports, feature requests, discussions
  • PRs - Implementation decisions, code changes, reviews
  • Code - Implementation patterns, examples
  • Discussions - Maintainer rationale, community input

Execution

1. Parse Instructions

Your instructions contain:

  • What topic or question to research
  • Which repos to search (e.g., block/goose)
  • Any specific focus (issues only, PRs only, etc.)
  • Where to write output (if specified)

2. Check Rate Limits First

gh api rate_limit --jq '.resources.search'
# Returns: {"limit":30,"remaining":N,"reset":TIMESTAMP,"used":N}

If remaining is low, pace your searches carefully.

3. Search Commands

Search Issues

# Open issues with keyword
gh search issues "topic" --repo owner/repo --state open --limit 20 \
  --json number,title,labels,author,createdAt,url

# Closed issues (often have solutions)
gh search issues "topic" --repo owner/repo --state closed --limit 20 \
  --json number,title,labels,closedAt,url

# Issues by label
gh search issues --repo owner/repo --label "bug" --state open --limit 20 \
  --json number,title,labels,createdAt,url

# Recent issues
gh search issues --repo owner/repo --created ">=2026-01-01" --limit 20 \
  --json number,title,state,createdAt,url

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.
