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 establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

topic-save 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 1mo 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 it actually says

Topic Save

Save topic-specific knowledge from conversations into persistent markdown files at ~/.abtars/workspace/topics/.

How to invoke

Use native file tools (read/write/list directory). No CLI commands.

  1. Sanitize name: spaces→hyphens, remove non-alphanumeric (keep -_), collapse consecutive hyphens, preserve casing. Reject if empty or contains .. or starts with /.
  2. Check existing: list ~/.abtars/workspace/topics/, case-insensitive match on {Name}-*.md. If found, update that file. If multiple, use most recent date.
  3. Create new: write to ~/.abtars/workspace/topics/{Name}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md
  4. Update existing: read file, append/merge new content into relevant sections, write back. Keep original filename/date.

File format

# {TopicName}

## Summary
[Condensed summary]

## Key Points
- [Point 1]

## Details

Write condensed summaries, not transcript dumps.

When to use

  • User says "save this topic", "store this as a topic", "add this to the X topic"

When NOT to use

  • Routine messages, greetings, small talk
  • Short facts/preferences (use instant-store)
  • Recall/search requests (use memory-search)
Changes

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.
