SkillSpector: 1 finding, 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 →
- medium Agent Snooping · line 254 Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.
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 | $0.00353 | $0.03727 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00141 | $0.01491 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00071 | $0.00745 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00035 | $0.00373 |
Grade A, and why
audio-explainer 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 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.

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

Trigger refinements
ALSO FIRE when the user drops a YouTube / podcast URL whose duration is > 4 minutes AND asks for "a video" (not "a clip" / "a short" / "a cut") — that is the audio-to-longform path, not the short-form cut path. Long-form on a URL: pull --audio-only, then run this skill on the audio.
DO NOT FIRE for:
- Short-form cuts (< 4 min) from a long-form source — route to
podcast-cliptemplate. - Talking-head essays where the user wants their face on screen — route to
yap-talking-headorgreen-screen-explainer. - Multi-speaker debates / interviews — route to
interview-dialog(split-screen) orpodcast-clip(cut viral moments). - Music videos / non-speech audio — route to
music-videotemplate. - Once the project has
index.htmlcomposed and the user wants render / preview tweaks — handback to the editor playbook.
Hard invariants
ralphyis the only entry-point. No directffmpeg,yt-dlp,curl, orbunx tsxagainst provider SDKs. Every step in the workflow below is either aralphyverb (already shipped) or an LLM call routed throughcli/lib/providers/llm.ts → callLLM(). AGENTS invariant #2.- Append-only on the project dir. Per AGENTS invariant #14, every regeneration writes
.v2/.v3files. Never overwriteoverlay-plan.json,captions.json, or any asset inartifacts/. The skill writes a new version; the user picks which to promote. - English-only on disk. Every file the skill writes lands in English. If the source audio is Russian / Spanish / etc., the on-disk
overlay-plan.jsonkeepsvo_textin the source language (it's transcript content) but every comment, log line, file name, and skill-generated annotation is English. Chat with the user matches their language. - No raw API code. Browser screenshots run through a Playwright helper script the skill calls via
bunx playwright, not via rawpuppeteer.launch()in inline code. Image generation goes throughralphy generate image. Music + SFX throughralphy generate music+ralphy generate sfx. No direct ElevenLabs HTTP calls. - Composition must be deterministic. The HyperFrames

What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

audio-explainer is a skill published in the GitHub repository alecs5am/ralphy (140 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 353 tokens to every session and 3,727 once invoked, about $0.0014 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
