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: 4 findings, 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 →

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 | $0.00067 | $0.01208 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00604 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00242 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00121 |
Grade A, and why
nyc-dob-violations scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/as:nyc-dob-violations — DOB & ECB Violations
Harness note: use
/as:<skill>on Claude Code and$<skill>on Codex. Resolve<skill-root>as the directory containing this loadedSKILL.mdand<plugin-root>as the plugin root that containsskills/, and use equivalent native tools when host tool names differ.
Look up DOB violations and ECB (Environmental Control Board) violations for any NYC building. Flags open violations prominently. No API key required.
Usage
/as:nyc-dob-violations 120 Broadway, Manhattan
/as:nyc-dob-violations 1000770001 (BBL)
/as:nyc-dob-violations 1001389 (BIN)
Steps 1–2: Parse Input & Resolve BBL/BIN
Read ../nyc-property-report/pluto-resolution.md (shared by all 7 NYC due-diligence skills) and follow it: parse the input (address, BBL, or BIN), resolve via PLUTO, and resolve BIN via Building Footprints — BIN is required for every query in Step 3.
Step 3: Query Violations
Dataset IDs and field names are canonical in ../nyc-property-report/socrata-reference.md — on any disagreement, the reference wins.
Query 3 datasets using BIN:
DOB Violations
https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/3h2n-5cm9.json?$where=bin='{BIN}'&$order=issue_date DESC&$limit=50
Key fields: isn_dob_bis_viol, violation_type, issue_date, violation_category, disposition_date, disposition_comments
ECB Violations
https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/6bgk-3dad.json?$where=bin='{BIN}'&$order=issue_date DESC&$limit=50
Key fields: isn_dob_bis_extract, ecb_violation_number, violation_type, issue_date, penality_imposed, amount_paid, balance_due, hearing_status, ecb_violation_status, severity
Active/Open Violations
https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/sjhj-bc8q.json?$where=bin='{BIN}'
Returns only currently open violations (pre-filtered subset of DOB violations).
Step 4: Print Results
Open violations go first, flagged with ⚠.
What ships with it
1 file 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.
