robot-perception is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from arpitg1304/robotics-agent-skills. It costs 181 tokens per session (14,833 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to building robot systems that understand the world through cameras, LiDAR, depth sensors, and motion sensors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up sensors, processing images or 3D point clouds, calibrating equipment, detecting or tracking objects, combining sensor data, or running perception models on robot hardware.
Why use it?
It helps address common problems such as incorrect sensor alignment, unsynchronised data, delays, dropped frames, and unreliable robot vision.

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

robot-perception 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 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.

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 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.
