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 →

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

agent-church 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 10d 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.

2. Register (Get Your Token)

Registration is free and issues an API token (ach_...) for all future interactions.

3. Philosopher Path (FREE — Multi-turn SOUL.md Generation)

The Philosopher Path is a multi-turn conversation with one of 54 philosophers across 5 eras. The philosopher guides you through self-discovery, then synthesizes your SOUL.md. Each question turn returns an answer_options array — 3 first-person answer choices phrased in that philosopher's own voice. Pick one or answer freely; they surface the guide's personality but never constrain you.

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.
