SkillSpector: 2 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 | $0.00059 | $0.00266 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00133 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00053 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00027 |
Grade A, and why
spine-fanout 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 4d 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.
What it actually says
Canonical project skill adapter
Load and follow ../../../.claude/skills/spine-fanout/SKILL.md. This generated discovery adapter contains no maintained workflow body.
Portability contract
- The linked canonical
SKILL.mdis the single semantic workflow body for Claude, Codex, and fak-native loaders. - This adapter changes discovery only; it must not fork, summarize, or translate the workflow.
- Harness-native invocation, permissions, hooks, model routing, and worker launch remain typed adapters outside the semantic body.
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.

spine-fanout is a skill published in the GitHub repository anthony-chaudhary/fak (38 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 266 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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.
