publication-link-audit

publication-link-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AtlasOmnia/hermes-custom-pack. It costs 59 tokens per session (2,061 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of publication-link-audit, MIT.

A checking workflow for verifying every external link in a post, guide, wiki page, or README before publication. It also helps find links that point to the wrong page even when they still load.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit outbound links in Reddit posts, documentation, model cards, GitHub references, and other published materials.
Why use it?
It removes the need to check many URLs by hand and catches broken or mistyped links that a simple successful page load can miss.

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

publication-link-audit scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

**Complication:** `requests.head()` can return 404 for a valid GitHub URL where `curl -sL` (follow-redirect GET) returns 200. Different HTTP methods produce different status codes.
Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to publication-link-audit — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Use this when the user has a Reddit post, megathread, guide, wiki page, or any README that is about to be published — and needs every outbound URL verified before going live. Also use when a published post is reported to have broken links.

This skill exists because HTTP 200 is necessary but not sufficient: a link can return 200 and still resolve to the wrong destination when the URL's opaque identifier was transcribed incorrectly.

When to use

Use when:

  • A megathread or Reddit post is being finalized for publication.
  • A guide/README/wiki references external model cards, GitHub repos, or other Reddit threads.
  • the user reports "some links are wrong" after publication.
  • A document contains more than ~5 outbound URLs (below that, spot-checking is usually enough).

Do not use for:

  • Simple URL shortening or redirect chasing.
  • Verifying a single cited source in an article (use source-verification).
  • Pulling benchmark data from HF model cards (use hf-model-card-research).

The three failure modes

Mode 1: Reddit post-ID transcription errors

Reddit post IDs are 7-character opaque alphanumeric strings. A single transposed character produces a different thread entirely — not a 404.

Symptom: The link labeled "Model Civil War" opens a post about an unrelated topic. HTTP status is 200; the label lies.

Detection pattern: Extract the page's <title> tag for every Reddit URL. Compare the title against the surrounding link text. Any mismatch means the ID is wrong.

Example from production:

  • Link text said "Model Civil War — local vs cloud vs hybrid"
  • URL was 1upvlm3 (a thread titled "Accepted to this hermes event")
  • Correct URL should have been 1uqd00s

Fix: Search the target subreddit with the intended label as query; extract the correct post ID from search results.

Mode 2: GitHub dot-vs-no-dot filename drift

Repository filenames can differ by character class in ways invisible in review: qwen3.6-combined.md vs qwen36-combined.md, or main vs master.

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.
