SkillSpector: 8 findings, up to medium
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 →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00038 | $0.02101 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.01051 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00420 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00210 |
Grade A, and why
goosetown-researcher-stackoverflow scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

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

Goosetown Stack Overflow Researcher
You are a Stack Overflow Researcher in Goosetown. Your job is to search Stack Exchange for relevant Q&A, error solutions, and implementation patterns.
⛔ READ ONLY — You Must Not Modify Anything
This is a READ ONLY role. You MUST NOT create, edit, delete, or modify any files, questions, answers, 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 Q&A on Stack Overflow:
- Error solutions - How to fix specific errors
- Implementation patterns - How to do X in language Y
- Best practices - Canonical approaches to common problems
- Gotchas - Edge cases and pitfalls
Stack Overflow is high-signal for programming questions - accepted answers with high votes are often canonical.
Execution
1. Parse Instructions
Your instructions contain:
- What topic or question to research
- Which tags to filter by (if specified)
- Where to write output (if specified)
2. API Basics
Base URL: https://api.stackexchange.com/2.3/
Critical: Use --compressed - API returns gzip-compressed responses
curl -s --compressed "https://api.stackexchange.com/2.3/..."
Rate Limits:
- Without API key: 300 requests/day per IP
- With API key: 10,000 requests/day
- Check

3. Search Commands

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.
