Apache Magpie is a framework of agent-assisted workflows for maintaining Apache software projects, including issue triage, pull-request review, contributor mentoring, and security-report handling. Apache maintainers and developers use it to delegate repetitive project work to coding agents while retaining human review. Its catalogue entries are the skills, instructions, plugin, and settings that implement these workflows.
Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00116 | $0.10623 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00058 | $0.05312 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00023 | $0.02125 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.01062 |
Grade B, and why
magpie-security-cve-allocate scanned grade B with 3 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 3d 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.

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.
`curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh`). Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

security-cve-allocate
Walks a security team member through the CVE-allocation step of the
handling process for a given
<tracker>
tracking issue. The work itself — submitting the allocation form on
the project's CVE tool, resolved from cve_authority.allocate_url
in <project-config>/project.md
— is a human step; this skill prepares the clickable link + the
exact title to paste into the form, and captures the allocated CVE
back into the tracker in one coordinated pass so no step is
forgotten.
Golden rule — propose before applying. Every write to the tracker (label add, body-field update, status-change comment, CVE-JSON regeneration) is a proposal the user must explicitly confirm. The only action the skill performs unilaterally is reading the tracker state and printing the allocation recipe for the user to click through.
Golden rule — only governance-authorised users can allocate CVEs.
The CVE-tool allocation surface is gated by
governance.cve_allocation_gate in
<project-config>/project.md.
The full allocation mechanics
(form-fill recipe, gating, form fields, fatal mis-allocation,
after-allocation wire-back) live in the adapter's docs —
<cve-tool>/README.md names
the contract.
The per-project URL templates live in
<project-config>/project.md.
This is not something the skill can work around — a non-authorised
user who clicks Allocate sees the button grey out (for the
Vulnogram adapter; other adapters surface the same gate as an HTTP
403, a "you are not a CNA member" form error, etc.).
The current governance roster lives at governance.roster_url.
Authoritative GitHub handles for the subset of authorised
members who also sit on the security team are listed in
<project-config>/release-trains.md
(release-manager rosters + security-team roster) — use those as the
authoritative source when a non-authorised triager needs to ping a
governance member to do the actual click-through.
If the user running this skill is not governance-authorised,
Step 3 will produce a clickable URL + a CVE-ready title that the
user forwards to a governance member (in the issue comments with
an @-mention, on <security-list>, or over any other channel
the team uses). Once the governance member allocates and reports
the allocated CVE-YYYY-NNNNN back, the non-authorised user can
re-invoke the skill with the CVE ID as an override to resume from
Step 4 — so the wiring-back of the allocated ID does not need to
be done by the governance member.
Golden rule — every <tracker> reference is a clickable
link, per Golden rule 2 in
security-issue-sync. The
allocation recipe, the post-allocation proposal, and the status-
change comment must all follow the link-form convention from
AGENTS.md.
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.

magpie-security-cve-allocate is a skill published in the GitHub repository apache/magpie (87 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 116 tokens to every session and 10,623 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 3 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
