SkillSpector: 2 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 | $0.00169 | $0.01973 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00084 | $0.00986 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00395 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00197 |
Grade A, and why
external-repo-intake 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 — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
External-repository intake
When the user asks to "import", "pull", "vendor", "cherry-pick", or "borrow from" an external GitHub repository (anything not already registered in the sync table of the upstream-sync skill), follow this workflow before touching any local file. This skill covers the first intake. Re-syncing repositories already registered uses the separate upstream-sync skill.
1. Classify the operation
We do not fork, submodule, or add runtime dependencies. The only intake mode for this marketplace is vendoring: a one-shot or tracked copy of upstream content into our tree, with attribution preserved and the content adapted to our conventions.
| Sub-mode | When to pick | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Full vendoring | Upstream is a complete drop-in (a single SKILL.md, a small set of references) and there is no local equivalent | kotlin-development |
| Cherry-pick vendoring | Upstream has many files but only a subset adds value, or the upstream commands collide with our existing namespace | wshobson/agents (3 codebase-cleanup commands imported, 2 agents skipped for overlap; the vendor was later retired in marketplace 19.0.0) |
| Hybrid merge | Upstream covers ground that overlaps with a local file; append upstream content as a delimited section instead of creating a duplicate | wshobson/agents e2e-testing-patterns references/details.md kept inline in the local SKILL.md sections (the vendor was later delegated upstream in marketplace 18.0.0) |
| Inspiration only | We adopt patterns or workflow ideas but write our own content from scratch; no upstream text copied | codebase-xray from gsd-build/get-shit-done |
Combinations are normal (the wshobson/agents intake used cherry-pick plus hybrid merge plus new files across codebase-cleanup and e2e-testing-patterns; its multi-agent generic core, the reverse-engineering vendor, and the e2e-testing-patterns vendor were all later delegated back upstream, and the codebase-cleanup vendor was retired outright in marketplace 19.0.0).
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.

external-repo-intake is a skill published in the GitHub repository acaprino/daodan (9 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 169 tokens to every session and 1,973 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.

Review and land an external contribution the way this suite does: gate it against the thesis, land it with the author's credit intact, complete a new skill rather than merging it raw, then approve, credit, and explain before closing.
