Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
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 | $0.00100 | $0.00859 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00040 | $0.00344 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00172 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00086 |
Grade A, and why
evolving-config 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 22d 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 — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Evolving Agent Configuration
Audit AI coding-agent configuration and report prioritized, evidence-backed findings with the smallest fix for each. Local files come first; official docs and changelogs settle syntax, feature availability, and deprecation. Do not recommend a change on the strength of an uncited blog.
For installed cc-thingz resource or version diagnostics, use installation-doctor first and continue here for broader review or authorized changes.
Limits
- Review-only by default. Change files only when the user asks for changes or
passes
--fix. - Even in fix mode, ask before changing permissions, sandbox policy, hooks, MCP servers, model routing, package installs, deletes, moves, broad rewrites, or private or managed config.
- Edit sources, never generated exports; name the source path and the regeneration command instead.
- Never quote secret values; name only the path and key.
Done
- Review: every finding cites a
path:line, setting key, tool output, or doc URL, and findings are sorted by severity. With an unclear target, list the detected config surfaces and ask which to audit. - Fix: only approved changes are applied. Done when the relevant build/test/lint checks pass on what you changed, or you name each check that did not run and why. Without write access, return proposed changes (file, change, reason) instead of applying them.
References
references/RUBRIC.md— severity and shared checks. Read for every audit.references/platforms/claude-code.md,codex.md,pi.md— read only the ones for platforms in scope.references/platforms/other-targets.md— read when the audit covers Copilot, Cursor, or Grok packages.references/apply-fixes.md— read only in fix mode.
Scope
Instruction files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, prompts, skill and agent bodies),
the platform config each reference lists, plugin and package manifests, and
source-to-generated export rules. Include chezmoi or dotfile copies only when
deployment is part of the request.
What ships with it
7 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.

evolving-config is a skill published in the GitHub repository alexei-led/cc-thingz (38 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 859 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
