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 →

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

b2-cloud-storage 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/storage_audit.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

B2 Cloud Storage Management

Manage Backblaze B2 cloud storage: list files, audit usage, estimate cost, clean up stale data, and review security posture.

Security Rules (MANDATORY)

  1. Never run b2 account get, b2 account clear, or any b2 key * subcommand — these expose or mutate credentials.
  2. Never read ~/.b2_account_info or any file matching *b2_account_info* — this is the B2 credential database (SQLite).
  3. Always run b2 rm --dry-run before any real deletion; show the user what would be deleted and require an explicit "yes" before executing.
  4. Never change a bucket to allPublic without first warning the user about the security implications and getting explicit confirmation.
  5. Default to read-only — only perform writes or deletes when the user explicitly requests them.
  6. Never store or write API keys, application keys, or account IDs to any file.
  7. If the user pastes key values into the chat instead of the terminal, warn them immediately and recommend rotating the key. Never echo, store, or reference key values that appear in conversation.

First-Use Flow

  1. Check the B2 CLI is installed: b2 version. If missing, ask the user to install the CLI outside the agent, then rerun b2 version - see references/setup.md for detail.
  2. Verify the CLI is authorized: b2 ls. If it fails with an auth error, walk the user through references/setup.md.
  3. Check for a per-project config at .claude/b2-config.json in the project root. If missing, ask the user for bucket + prefix and create one.

Interactive auth note

b2 account authorize (no args) reads keys from an interactive prompt, which agents cannot drive. The user has two options:

  • Run it themselves in the terminal — in Claude Code they can type !b2 account authorize to execute directly in the session.
  • Pass the keyID and applicationKey as positional args: b2 account authorize <keyID> <appKey> (keys will appear in shell history — less safe).
  • Or set B2_APPLICATION_KEY_ID and B2_APPLICATION_KEY env vars before running B2 commands (recommended for scripts and CI).

What ships with it

7 files 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.

Changes

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.
