Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 10 findings, up to high
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 →
- high System Prompt Leakage · line 13 Skill contains instructions that could directly expose system prompts, internal rules, or hidden instructions to users or external parties.Fix: Remove any instructions that reveal, print, or output system prompts or internal rules. System instructions should never be exposed to end users.
- medium Excessive Agency · line 4 Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.
- medium Rogue Agent · line 40 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.
- medium Agent Snooping · line 72 Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.
- medium Agent Snooping · line 371 Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories.

Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
- low Excessive Agency · line 545 Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.Fix: Limit the skill's scope to its documented purpose. Remove instructions that enable the agent to perform actions outside its stated functionality.
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 | $0.00013 | $0.07949 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.03180 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.01590 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00795 |
Grade A, and why
architect 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 1mo 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.

/architect Workflow
Inputs
- Feature request: $ARGUMENTS
- Flags:
--fastskips the red team review (use for low-risk changes)
Output Rules
- Always print full absolute paths for all artifact references (plan files, review files, audit logs). This makes paths clickable in terminals like Warp. Use the resolved
$PLANS_DIRvalue, never relative paths like./plans/.
Step 0 — Pre-flight (optional)
Resolve devkit paths (MUST be first action in Step 0):
Tool: Bash
# --- Devkit Path Resolution ---
DEVKIT_SCRIPTS="${CLAUDE_DEVKIT:-$HOME/.claude-devkit}/scripts"
# Source path resolution helper
if [ -f "$DEVKIT_SCRIPTS/resolve-project-dir.sh" ]; then
. "$DEVKIT_SCRIPTS/resolve-project-dir.sh"
DEVKIT_PROJECT_DIR_RESOLVED=$(resolve_devkit_project_dir) || {
echo "Failed to resolve project directory" >&2; exit 1
}
elif [ -n "${DEVKIT_PROJECT_DIR:-}" ]; then
DEVKIT_PROJECT_DIR_RESOLVED="$DEVKIT_PROJECT_DIR"
else
echo "WARNING: devkit is not installed. Using deprecated .devkit/ fallback." >&2
DEVKIT_PROJECT_DIR_RESOLVED=".devkit"
fi
PLANS_DIR="$DEVKIT_PROJECT_DIR_RESOLVED/plans"
mkdir -p "$PLANS_DIR"
echo "Plans directory: $PLANS_DIR"
Check for project-specific agents (parallel):
Tool: Glob (direct — coordinator does this)
Run all three globs in parallel:
- Pattern 1:
.claude/agents/senior-architect.md - Pattern 2:
.claude/agents/code-reviewer.md - Pattern 3:
.claude/agents/security-analyst.md
If senior-architect found:
- Output: "✅ Using project-specific senior-architect from .claude/agents/"
If senior-architect not found:
- Output note: "💡 No project-specific senior-architect found. Will use generic Task subagent for planning.\n For project-tailored planning, generate one:\n
gen-agent . --type senior-architect" - Continue to Step 1 (do not block).
If code-reviewer found:
- Output: "✅ Using project-specific code-reviewer from .claude/agents/"
If code-reviewer not found:
- Output note: "💡 No project-specific code-reviewer found. Will use generic Task subagent for feasibility checks.\n For project-tailored reviews, generate one:\n
gen-agent . --type code-reviewer"
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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 684 lines · 13 tokens per session scan A fc3aa8f8905c
architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository backspace-shmackspace/claude-devkit (15 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 7,949 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.

architect
Produces Alon's design-doc system before code: SOURCEOFTRUTH.md, ARCHITECTUREROADMAP.md, TODOWORKFLOW.md, CLAUDE.md, plus a modular docs/architecture set for larger projects. Model first: data and invariants before framework, every invariant enforced at two boundaries, failure paths designed as deliberately as happy…
ponytail
Forces the laziest solution that actually works: YAGNI, reuse before new code, stdlib before custom, native platform before dependencies, one line before fifty. Three levels — lite (name the lazier alternative, build what's asked), full (ladder enforced, default), ultra (YAGNI extremist, challenge the requirement…
review-swarm
Local, free, multi-specialist review of a diff: parallel Claude subagents for correctness, security/trust boundaries, data/perf, architecture-altitude, ponytail-simplicity, and tests/failure-paths, each non-trivial finding adversarially verified before being kept, deduped, and ranked into a Blockers / Should-fix /…
ask-the-council
Convenes a panel of opinionated Claude advisors, each with a distinct mandate and a forbidden move so they genuinely diverge, then a Chairman synthesis that commits to one recommendation with the decisive tradeoff and the strongest dissent named.
prompt-generator
Turns a vague ask into a rigorous, grounded, token-efficient prompt for another agent or LLM: role and objective, testable done criteria, anti-hallucination and anti-tokenmaxing rules baked into the generated prompt itself, and strict agent discipline for coding-agent hand-offs.
up-to-date
Preflight sync and situational brief before repo work: fetches origin, reports ahead/behind divergence (with a no-upstream/detached-HEAD fallback), recent commits, open PRs and issues touching the work, and dirty-tree warnings, then names one recommended first action. Read-only by default — never pulls, rebases…
