powerskills-system is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aloth/PowerSkills. It costs 52 tokens per session (373 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Windows system-control tool that uses PowerShell, Microsoft’s command-line and scripting environment. It can run commands, report system information, list resource-heavy processes, and read environment variables.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run PowerShell commands, check the computer and operating system, inspect uptime and architecture, view top processes, and read named environment variables.
Why use it?
It lets a coding agent inspect and operate a Windows machine through supported PowerShell actions. This avoids switching manually between system tools for basic diagnostics.

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

powerskills-system 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (system.ps1), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

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.
