varlock-claude-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Agent-Threat-Rule/agent-threat-rules. It costs 28 tokens per session (198 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for managing environment variables that contain secrets, such as API keys and passwords. It is designed to keep those values out of agent sessions, terminals, logs, and Git commits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when loading, handling, or checking environment variables during development and when preventing secret values from appearing in saved project history.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of accidentally exposing secrets while an agent works with a project or its command line tools.

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

varlock-claude-skill 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 7d 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.

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.
