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 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.

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

goal-tracking 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 11d 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.

Progress Calculation

Checklist-Based Goals

Progress = (Completed checkboxes / Total checkboxes) * 100

Metric-Based Goals

Progress = (Current value / Target value) * 100

Time-Based Goals

Progress = (Days elapsed / Total days) * 100

Common Operations

View Goal Progress

  1. Read all goal files
  2. Parse checkbox completion rates
  3. Calculate overall and per-goal progress
  4. Identify stalled or at-risk goals

Update Goal Status

  1. Find goal in appropriate file
  2. Update checkbox or percentage
  3. Add date stamp for significant milestones
  4. Update related weekly review

Connect Task to Goal

When adding tasks to daily notes:

  1. Identify which goal the task supports
  2. Add goal reference: Supports: [[1. Yearly Goals#Goal Name]]
  3. Use appropriate priority tag

Surface Stalled Goals

  1. Check last activity date for each goal
  2. Flag goals with no progress in 14+ days
  3. Suggest actions to restart momentum
